Founded on April 10th, 2015, in the vibrant city of Rock Island, IL, we are dedicated to sharing the rich and colorful essence of the Caribbean with the world. Our visionary Creative Director, Alescia, is a talented multi-passionate Jamaican artist with over 25 years of experience in the beauty and fashion industry. Through her expertise, we have curated a unique collection that embodies Caribbean secrets for beauty, style, and empowerment.
Our Collections

DressUP™ is the fashion and styling arm of ROBYN RYAN Co., where personal style meets presence. Rooted in Caribbean influence and real-world wearability, DressUP™ focuses on special event styling, wardrobe curation, and fashion storytelling. Whether styling for photoshoots, appearances, or creative campaigns, DressUP™ is about helping women feel confident, intentional, and fully expressed in what they wear—because style is not just what you put on, it’s how you show up.
ModelUP™ is Robyn Ryan’s modeling and confidence development platform designed to train, mentor, and prepare talent for runway, editorial, and commercial opportunities. Drawing from Robyn’s extensive experience as a fashion and commercial model, pageant titleholder, and judge, ModelUP™ focuses on movement, posture, presence, professionalism, and industry readiness. More than modeling, ModelUP™ helps individuals build confidence, discipline, and visibility—skills that translate far beyond the runway.
The Red Lipstick Foundation™
At the heart of ROBYN RYAN Co. is a commitment to giving back. Through The Red Lipstick Foundation™, beauty becomes a vehicle for confidence, courage, and community impact.

Every red lipstick tells a story—of strength, resilience, and the belief that confidence can change lives.
