In 2004, Kady Decker and Lindsay Lancaster, the duo behind kay & elle, began their entrepreneurial partnership. They became two of the youngest people in the nation to open a Pure Barre studios. Seven years and ten studios later, they’d learned a thing or two. With a love for fitness, health and fashion, they learned what women wanted. It was the same thing they had always wanted. To feel beautiful. To create their own path. To let go and go deeper. To take more risks and have fewer regrets. To be raw, real, and unstoppable. On a life-changing trip to Costa Rica in 2015, Kady and Lindsay, water lovers and swimsuit fanatics, dreamed up kay & elle. Together, they’ve created a swimsuit line for the girl who wants to be set free—the unforgettable, can’t hide from her own light, sometimes broken but never defeated, called by the tide, pulse-driven, world on fire girl.
