The brand, founded by sisters Nafsika and Stephanie Skourti, emphasized the importance of daywear, activewear, and empowering affirmations in their designs. Stephanie Skourti explained that the line aimed to celebrate women's lives and reject restrictive evening wear.

Nafsika noted the collection's connection to their Arab heritage and their intention to challenge the norm in the fashion industry.
