Following the closure, pieces from the label's archives were acquired by the Auckland War Memorial Museum Tāmaki Paenga Hira. In 2019 pieces from the Miss Crabb archive and art collection were sold by fine art auction house Webb’s in "The Estate of Miss Crabb."

In 2019 Crabb announced her next project Gloria, described by Crabb as "a dedication to my divine grandmother, her strength and love of life, curiosity and beauty."

In 2018 Crabb announced the closure of Miss Crabb, news which was met by surprise from the local industry and media, and was extensively covered by the New Zealand press. In an interview for The New Zealand Herald she explained that she felt the Miss Crabb project had been a collaboration of "creative minds and kindred spirits" which was now finished, and that she was looking forward to spending more time with her children.

In 2017 the filmmakers Florian Habicht and Teresa Peters directed and starred in a film for the "Romantica" collection. Later collaborations included projects with artist Areez Katki, with photographers Andrei Blidarean and Oliver Guyon, and with artist Anna Sisson and DJ Creamy Mami.

From 2005 the window of the Miss Crabb boutique housed the art gallery dep_art_ment. The gallery was founded and run by Orjis, and later run by the artist Erica Van Zon. During its course the window gallery showed works by emerging artists including Fiona Connor, Simon Denny, Kate Newby, Andrew Barber, Seung Yul Oh, and Tessa Laird.

In 2005 the artist Fiona Connor created a replica of the front door of the Miss Crabb store, titled Miss Crabb Door, which now belongs in the permanent collection of the Dunedin Public Art Gallery.

In 2004 Crabb established her eponymous label Miss Crabb, which ran until 2019.

In 2003 the Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki invited Rip Shit and Bust to present a show.

Crabb established Rip Shit and Bust with Jonelle Hanrahan on Auckland’s Karangahape Road in 2001. The experimental store-cum-studio sold one-off pieces by her friends from fashion school and art school including Maiangi Waitai of Dead Martin, Janet Tristram, Mack Duggan and Caroline Anderson, as well as Crabb’s first label Non. Non was also stocked in boutiques in New Zealand and Australia.

Crabb attended high school in Hamilton and started making clothes as a teenager "as a way of communicating and showing that you’re free." In 1996 she commenced study at Whanganui Polytechnic and graduated in 2000.
