.To use an item coming from Diotima is actually to use a part of designer as well as creator Rachel Scott's (she/her) life story. The label, which launched in 2021 and includes seasonally compatible parts like striped cotton-and-crepe A-line midi skirts, as well as crystal-encrusted mesh knit containers, is actually crafted in between Scott's home nation of Jamaica as well as her homebase Nyc. Along with a focus on crochet, an approach along with strong associations to the Caribbean, Scott is actually "finding to position an emphasis on work, supporting and also magnifying artisanal neighborhoods," as she pointed out in a current interview for Nordstrom, making "moments of stress in shade, texture, and silhouette." In doing so, the designer pushes back on stereotypes regarding what style from this area appears like, combining typical and present-day pieces that are really liked through superstars like Keke Palmer, Doja Feline as well as Gabrielle Union. On the heels of a big 2023, during the course of which Scott was actually rewarded the CFDA Surfacing Designer award, she debuted at Nyc Fashion Week along with an impressive springtime 2024 collection. When it comes to the following five years? "The compilations will certainly be actually much more amazing and latest than ever as our team continue to rearrange designed," she informs R29. "Perhaps our company will definitely have a retail room in New York City." We'll be first level when it opens up.Photo Credit: Deirdre Lewis.
