DIOTIMA
For Pre-Fall ’23, Brooklyn-based Rachel Scott continues to build on—and hone—her seductive artisanal craft and slouchy tailoring. A 19th-century image of women in Jamaica standing by a river informed the collection’s title—“River Mumma”—and the oceanic romance seen throughout. Alongside the crochet-insert tailoring women love her for, her trademark doily crochet intricacies return in a new mermaid silhouette alongside her beloved fishing-net-inspired, crystal-flecked mesh, plus gathered drapery that recalls the natural impulse to scrunch up a garment when standing in water.
The buy: the mermaid-style crochet skirt.
