District Vision
District Vision
We research and develop tools for mindful athletes, creating products that are equally function-first and performance enhancing. We believe in a holistic approach to athleticism and the idea that mental wellbeing is the foundation of every form of physical exercise.
Our first experiment was initiated in 2014 when we started testing sports eyewear technology with a group of downtown runners. Combining real-life feedback with Japanese engineering, the Keiichi running sunglass system was born – a proprietary solution for athletes, handmade in Japan.
As part of our holistic vision for the project we want to make meditation available to more runners and active souls in New York and beyond, through a series of talks and our Mindful Athlete Program (MAP), working with leading teachers in both fields.

Diotima
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.
Having worked at all levels of the design process – from designer to executive to consultant – throughout her 16-year career in Milan and NYC, Scott brings vast technical and creative knowledge to Diotima. Foundational experiences at Costume National in Italy laid the groundwork for an approach to fashion rooted in a reverence for craft, construction, and fine materials – and her design sensibility as a Jamaican grounds her work in the concrete intersection of the historical, political, and the aesthetic.

Igniting a spirit of challenge in sports people who confront the limits.
And bringing confidence and breathing space to everyday wearers.
We will continue to create as yet unseen values, cultivating the imagination and technical skills of each and every one of the DESCENT team, building on their achievements and top- level experience.
