The brand, which introduced in 2021 and also includes seasonally compatible parts like striped cotton-and-crepe A-line midi skirts, and crystal-encrusted screen knit tanks, is crafted in between Scott's home country of Jamaica as well as her homebase Nyc. Along with an emphasis on crochet, a technique with rich connections to the Caribbean, Scott is "looking for to place an emphasis on effort, sustaining as well as intensifying artisanal communities," as she said in a latest job interview for Nordstrom, creating "moments of pressure in colour, texture, as well as shape." In accomplishing this, the developer pushes back on stereotypes about what design from this region looks like, fusing conventional and also contemporary parts that are actually loved through superstars like Keke Palmer, Doja Feline as well as Gabrielle Union. On the heels of a huge 2023, during the course of which Scott was granted the CFDA Surfacing Developer award, she debuted at New york city Style Full week with an impressive springtime 2024 collection. When it comes to the upcoming 5 years? "The selections will definitely be much more interesting and latest than ever before as our company continue to rearrange craft," she informs R29.
