Diotima.

An expression of sensual form, craftsmanship, and elevated luxury

About the studio

Founded in 2021 by Jamaican-born designer Rachel Scott, Diotima is a womenswear label designed and crafted between Jamaica and New York, with all of its crochet made by artisans in Jamaica and its tailoring cut from British heritage tweeds and Italian wools. Scott frames the label as a vision of Caribbean style and argues for a definition of luxury that is not centred on Europe. She was named American Womenswear Designer of the Year at the 2024 CFDA Fashion Awards.
