.To wear a part from Diotima is to use a component of developer and also founder Rachel Scott's (she/her) life story. The brand name, which released in 2021 and also includes seasonally interchangeable items like striped cotton-and-crepe A-line midi skirts, as well as crystal-encrusted net knit storage tanks, is actually crafted between Scott's home nation of Jamaica as well as her homebase Nyc. With an emphasis on embroidery, a technique with deep connections to the Caribbean, Scott is actually "looking for to place a focus on labor, supporting and also intensifying artisanal neighborhoods," as she stated in a recent meeting for Nordstrom, generating "seconds of stress in shade, appearance, and also contour." In doing so, the developer pushes back on stereotypes regarding what design coming from this area looks like, melding standard and also modern parts that are liked through well-knowns like Keke Palmer, Doja Kitty and Gabrielle Union. On the heels of a huge 2023, throughout which Scott was rewarded the CFDA Arising Developer honor, she debuted at New york city Manner Week along with a magnificent spring 2024 collection. When it comes to the following five years? "The compilations will certainly be actually more interesting as well as more recent than ever before as we remain to reposition designed," she says to R29. "Maybe we are going to have a retail space in New York City." Our company'll be initially level when it opens.Photograph Credit Report: Deirdre Lewis.
