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.

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.

Forward-looking, ZANKOV will explore multiple areas of expression in relation to clothing, textiles, ceramics, home and collaborations.
