Shemar Bryan's journey to fashion innovation is a compelling tapestry woven from seemingly threads of law and artistic passion. He is the founder of Cover Up, aJamaican brand poised to disrupt the fashion landscape.
Growing up immersed in Jamaica's vibrant tapestry of colors, sounds, and textures, Shemar's creative spark ignited early. While pursuing a successful academic
path that led him to study law, his innate desire for
creative expression remained a constant hum,
manifesting in sketches and a burgeoning vision.
Recognizing a void in the market for clothing
reflecting the true essence of Jamaica, he embarked on
his design journey. Over three years, Shemar honed his
craft, drawing inspiration from the island's
breathtaking landscapes, rhythmic music, and dynamic
people. Cover Up is more than just a brand; it is a
reflection of Shemar's personal narrative and deep-
rooted connection to his Jamaican heritage. His legal
background provides a unique advantage, enabling him to
navigate the industry's intricacies with strategic
precision. He painstakingly crafts a brand narrative
that resonates globally while remaining firmly grounded
in his Jamaican identity. This blend of legal acumen
and creative zeal sets Shemar apart, allowing him to
approach fashion with both innovation and a keen
understanding of the market. Shemar's vision for Cover
Up extends beyond apparel; he aspires to create a
globally recognized brand synonymous with Jamaican
innovation and sustainability, empowering local
artisans and communities along the way. His designs are
a testament to honoring heritage while fearlessly
pushing boundaries. Shemar is excited to grace the FIWI Fashion Show runway, December 6th, 2025 at Chances Negril.
