Founder & Game Changer

Executive

Melissa Scott is a 20 year Olympic Games veteran, having served with the IOC, US Speedskating, and Japan Olympic Committee and many more. She is currently the founder & game changer for MODEFYwear, an apparel company for women who dress modestly and traditionally whether for religious, cultural, or personal reasons. In her free time, she is a referee for USA Cycling and USA Rowing. MODEFYwear is also a brick and mortar retail store located at 1460 S. Robertson Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90035.

MODEFYwear has received angel investments from phenomenal women leaders such as Cat Cora (celebrity chef), Nicole Ehrlich (Grammy-winning producer), Cat Curry (non-profit founder), and Kym Gold (True Religion Jeans founder). It also won Inc. Magazine 'Small but Mighty' business award. 

MODEFYwear is a game changer in the athletic world, reaching the fastest growing female population in the athletic, medical, communications, and technology sectors in the global market – women who dress in traditional garments (mainly Muslims, observant Jews and Indian women) and/or modestly for athletics. Our products allow women to embrace their heritage in fashion without making sacrifices. We have enhanced the most popular women’s garments within traditional, religious and cultural apparel that are everyday wear and made them more functional in this digital era. To date, we have secured a patent on a re-design of the hijab that allows the wearer to actively engage in modern technology such as the mask wearing (hello 2020!), Air pods, cellphone, personal music gadgets, hearing aids, Bluetooth, stethoscope and more without changing the integrity of the hijab. We have incorporated pockets and tech-wearable compartments in our skirts and kurtis. Our designs all abide by various religious suggestions of covering arms above the 

Time honored beauty traditions from around the world

We believe there's a reason why certain beauty traditions have lasted for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. It's because the all powerful ingredients have withstood the test of time & have proven their potency over & over again. 

We have traveled the world to study gorgeous & effective beauty traditions that have been practiced for years and are on a mission to introduce these rituals & ingredients to you. Our curated collections are ethically sourced & all-natural - celebrating the fusion of nature, culture, tradition, & beauty.

We take pride in bypassing the current beauty movement of gimmicks, fads, & chemicals. We've had our own trends since 942 AD and are still being passed down from generation to generation in various pockets of the world. 

We also believe in paying it forward & 10% of all proceeds from sales of beautySEAFARI products are awarded to recipients of the beautySEAFARI Empowerment Program.
