.To wear an item from Diotima is to use an aspect of designer and creator Rachel Scott's (she/her) personal history. The company, which introduced in 2021 as well as includes seasonally interchangeable items like striped cotton-and-crepe A-line midi skirts, and crystal-encrusted net knit storage tanks, is actually crafted between Scott's home nation of Jamaica and also her homebase New York. Along with an importance on crochet, an approach with strong connections to the Caribbean, Scott is "finding to place an emphasis on labor, sustaining and also amplifying artisanal communities," as she mentioned in a recent interview for Nordstrom, developing "moments of pressure in different colors, appearance, and also shape."

On the heels of a large 2023, in the course of which Scott was actually awarded the CFDA Developing Professional honor, she debuted at The big apple Manner Full week along with a sensational springtime 2024 compilation. As for the next five years? "The assortments will certainly be actually even more amazing and also latest than ever as we continue to rearrange designed," she says to R29. "Possibly our team will certainly possess a retail room in NYC." Our company'll be to begin with in line when it opens.Photograph Debt: Deirdre Lewis.
