Black Fashion Designer That You Need To Know About: Diotima

 Happy Tuesday my fellow fashion lovers, I hope that all of you are doing well and your weekend was relaxing and fun. 

I love to see someone uses their creativity in fashion and shares it with the world, I was reading a issue of Essence Magazine and I saw the designer Diotima and I love the intricate designs of her crochet dresses.  Founded in 2021, 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 their crochet the foundation of the collection is made in Jamaica.

Tailoring is crafted with Heritage Tweeds from the UK, harkening back to the informal dialogue that was born out of the Jamaican diaspora during the Windrush era, as well as Tropical Wools and Basketweaves from storied Italian mills that reference the traditional crocus bag. In tension with the Tailoring and crochet is hand embellishment and threadwork, always with an emphasis on craft. She advocates for a more expansive definition of luxury, one that is not exclusively centred in Europe.

Rachael Scott uses Diotima to widen the definition of sustainability beyond materiality. Sustainability is an approach to making that is not exploitive. As communities in the global south are on the front line of the effects of climate change, efforts must be made to support these communities in a way that fosters their autonomy. At Diotima responsibly produced materials are used, producing only two collections a year, all made to order.

The Talisman Dress is simply a thing of beauty, this dress is made with Traditional Jamaican starched cotton crochet halter dress with elastic straps. This dress retails for $1,485.00

Happy Tuesday and Welcome Back to my Blog, I'm so happy that you stopped by here. I hope that you all are ready to share in my love for the latest Fashion Trends that has my full, undivided, attention. When I was growing up, I was always under the impression that all of us had to wear Black, Gray, and any other neutral colors to match the whole Winter Season. I wore my dark colors and don't get me wrong that was nice but looking back at the outfits that I wore I wished that I would've added a touch of color to them ( Who wants to look like you are constantly going to a Funeral) I love how color gives you a little pep in your outfit and how it gives you a instant mood lifter that will anyone looking at your outfit. Today's Blog Post is all about Colorful Coats, I'm loving this trend so much because why would you want to stay in the background when you were meant to stand out. From rich, saturated, jewel tones, to beautiful pastels this is something I love to

Hello again Fashion Lovers and Happy Tuesday to you all. I hope that you all are doing well and always in style while doing so. A jacket is the one thing that every person needs to have in their closets. I feel a jacket is the finishing piece to a outfit just like a watch, a handbag, or the the right pair of shoes. Jackets are really are having a real moment in the Fashion world and I must say, I'm in love with Jackets right now and quite honestly, I have a feeling that they are going to be here for a couple seasons on the runways.  Now I know what many of you are thinking, A Bomber Jackets in the Heat of Summer.

I have two Bombers Jackets that I think you all will love. The first is a Olive

How To Look Chic In The Heat

Happy Tuesday Fashion Lovers out there, I hope that you are being your absolute stylish selves and spreading positive vibes wherever you go. Let's be honest with each other for a minute, we all love the summer for what it represents, spending time with our families and friends, going on beach vacations, enjoying the long summer nights, but we can not stand the heat. The heat does not go well with your outfit at all or anything else for that matter. In this heatwave that we all are experiencing (And some people believe that Climate Change is a hoax) we have to adapt to the heat and still look stylish. Having the right outfit in the heat is essential for a woman to have in her closet. I love wearing dresses in the Summer, They are light and airy and they can be dressed down for a casual barbeque with friends or dressed up for a night. Another thing that I love about dresses is that they are a complete outfit so when you have an unexpected event to go to, you're covered.
