By: Fashion Forms Deal was one of a handful of executives to sit on the Founders Panel, where she shared her strategies for rising to the top of her profession. At events around the country, Deal has long encouraged students and colleagues to celebrate their dreams, relating stories of how she learned to think beyond socially imposed limitations, be persistent and create a step-by-step plan to achieve goals. Originally from North Carolina, Deal began her career as a buyer for Rich’s department store. A career in business was a bold move at a time when young women were seldom encouraged to venture into traditionally male-dominated industries. Deal eventually moved to California, starting Fashion Forms in her garage with a backless, strapless, adhesive bra in 1993. It was an immediate hit and the first in a long line of Fashion Forms products to revolutionize the intimate apparel industry. Deal has since turned Fashion Forms into the leading producer of specialty bras and accessories in the U.S., Canada and Europe. In 2009, she received the Femmy Award for lifetime achievement from the Underfashion Club, a council of lingerie manufacturers.
