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.

From wild outbursts in an Atlanta mall Microsoft Store to being pleasured on stage by a porn star during a concert in Dallas, Texas; self proclaimed “Wild Boy,” Machine Gun Kelly has definitely had his share of negative press.  Machine Gun Kelly, also known as Richard Colson Baker, was born to missionary parents and lived in a dozen places before claiming his official residence in Cleveland, Ohio. Machine Gun Kelly, or MGK as his fans know him, has become a symbol of perseverance in an industry that has repeatedly denied him access to a seat at the big kids table.
