Selling her first one offs in stores in Stockholm at the age of 15. Already under her own label. Diana evolved into a completely autodidact designer. Finding her influences in literature, dance and art. Since 2004 Diana has presented her collections trough six fashion shows, applying her own sensibility. Trough using non-models, reflecting the audiences gaze with mirrors or integrating live singing and dance into the performance. In 2007 she received a scholarship from the Swedish Art Foundation. The method of creating directly on living bodies rather than on paper is essential for Diana. Encouraging movement both by the body but also of the garment itself, every piece should ask for altering. And when often using draping the result can never be directly cut out or even closely for-seen. Instead it’s a paradoxical process of constantly improvising and following the fabrics own characteristics while searching for ways to move the method of draping outside the solitary confinement of haute couture. Starting from SS07 her collections are now being sold in Scandinavia, USA, Paris, London, Dublin, Japan, Hong Kong and Israel.
