About Diotima
Founded in 2021, Diotima offers a year-round and seasonally interchangeable wardrobe. Diotima is designed and crafted between Jamaica and New York. Rooted in a reverence for savoir-faire, focus is placed on supporting and amplifying artisanal communities in Jamaica. All our crochet — the foundation of the collection — is made in Jamaica.
Diotima designer Rachel Scott (b. 1984, Jamaica) comes to fashion through language. Drawing on her background in French existentialism and post-structuralism, Scott’s interest in fashion began with an awareness of language’s connection to culture and creativity. In an effort to stay close to ‘the things themselves,’ Scott looked to fashion design as a moment of intellectual, aesthetic, and corporeal unity to be explored.
Scott won the American Designer of the Year at 2024 CFDA Fashion Awards.
About Zankov
ZANKOV is a knitwear collection that establishes a new visual language in fashion and textiles. With a strong emphasis on color, shape and pattern, ZANKOV builds an adventurous graphic lexicon, going beyond the realms of clothing.
ZANKOV founder Henry Zankov, an experienced knitwear designer, launched ZANKOV to inject a sense of playfulness, color, freshness and ease into men’s and women’s knitwear. Forward-looking, ZANKOV will explore multiple areas of expression in relation to clothing, textiles, ceramics, home and collaborations.
Zankov won the Google Shopping American Emerging Designer of the Year award at 2024 CFDA Fashion Awards.
