The success of the Scion brand has created a culture that extends beyond the automobile industry – Release being its latest development launching into the world of fashion. Release is a sportswear line with a twist, combining traditional golf wear with cutting edge, high end streetwear sensibility. The 2006 Release line is co-designed by Blue Davis and Jupiter Desphy III, two of the most sought after streetwear designers in the country. Through a national search of well-known designers, 10 were chosen to submit their collections to Scion. Out of the 10 entries, Blue and Jupiter were selected to create the first Release collection. Continuing to embody the “freedom of artistic expression” theme that inspired Scion’s line of vehicles, Release is also the expression of luxury.
This celebrity golf tournament brings together vehicles, sport and fashion.
