diotima

Founded in 2021 by Jamaican-born designer Rachel Scott, Diotima is a luxury fashion brand that merges Caribbean heritage with a modern, intellectual sensibility. Drawing its name from the ancient Greek philosopher who taught Socrates about love, the brand is rooted in a reverence for craft and cultural storytelling. Scott, a fashion industry veteran with experience at Costume National and Rachel Comey, channels her background into creating a nuanced vision of Caribbean style that is both sensual and strong. The foundation of the collection is intricate crochet, all handcrafted by artisans in Jamaica, which Scott juxtaposes with sharp tailoring, fluid draping, and unexpected details like crystal mesh and heritage tweeds. This interplay creates a signature style of subversive elegance, seen in backless dresses, tailored pieces with cutout details, and delicately embellished separates.
