Design Philosophy
Diamond has been put through situations that made her lose her shine. While currently trying to put back the pieces, Diamond found a new reason to design: for her. After the countless reminders from the outside world saying that she wasn’t good enough, Diamond finally said that she is. Diamond is taking her life back, and doing what she wants in whatever way she wants. She wants to give the same self expression in her clothes to others. Part of Diamond’s design philosophy is to be instinctive and make things to last. Clothes should accommodate the user rather than confuse them with new functions. Furthermore, Diamond wants to design clothes that can not be easily replaced to help sustainability concerns in the fashion industry.
