Diotima: Dismantling the Colonial Gaze

“Seductive, Artisanal, Nuanced.” Those are the words used by Rachel Scott to describe her brand which aims to create a bridge between Jamaica, the Caribbeans, and the West.

The Kingston, Jamaica-born designer studied French and art at Colgate University in upstate New York and graduated with her Bachelor’s degree in 2006. From 2006-2007, she attended Istituto Marangoni in Milan, Italy where she studied fashion/apparel design. After graduating, Scott worked for brands such as Costume National and J. Mendel, and served as Vice President of Design at Rachel Comey for about seven years. She first founded Diotima in 2021 after realizing that there was a lack of direct Caribbean and Jamaican representation in fashion.
