I wanted to do something that has an Egyptian vibe because I love gold but with a ladylike twist [with] pearls and stones," Schroeder said of the collaboration.[16] She released a clothing line in collaboration with JustFab in July 2019.[17][18] The collection has two parts "Next Level Basics" and "#OOTN (Outfit of the Night)".[19][20][21]
