The brand, which launched in 2021 and also includes seasonally compatible items like candy striped cotton-and-crepe A-line midi skirts, and crystal-encrusted mesh knit tanks, is crafted between Scott's home nation of Jamaica and her homebase New York.

In doing this, the developer pushes on fashions regarding what style coming from this region resembles, melding traditional as well as modern pieces that are liked by celebrities like Keke Palmer, Doja Cat and Gabrielle Union. On the heels of a big 2023, during which Scott was granted the CFDA Surfacing Developer award, she debuted at Nyc Fashion Full week along with a spectacular spring 2024 compilation.
