.To wear an item coming from Diotima is to put on a part of designer and also founder Rachel Scott's (she/her) life story. The company, which introduced in 2021 and features seasonally compatible parts like candy striped cotton-and-crepe A-line midi skirts, and crystal-encrusted screen weaved storage tanks, is actually crafted between Scott's home country of Jamaica and her homebase Nyc. With an emphasis on embroidery, a method with deep connections to the Caribbean, Scott is actually "looking for to place a focus on labor, supporting and also enhancing artisanal communities," as she mentioned in a current interview for Nordstrom, generating "moments of stress in shade, structure, as well as contour." In doing this, the professional pushes back on stereotypes about what style from this location resembles, fusing typical as well as contemporary items that are actually loved by celebrities like Keke Palmer, Doja Pussy-cat as well as Gabrielle Union. On the heels of a large 2023, in the course of which Scott was granted the CFDA Surfacing Designer honor, she debuted at The big apple Style Full week with a stunning springtime 2024 compilation. As for the following five years? "The selections are going to be actually extra interesting and newer than ever before as we continue to rearrange craft," she informs R29. "Perhaps our company will possess a retail room in New York City." We'll be actually initially level when it opens.Photograph Credit: Deirdre Lewis.
