Diane began her career in the fashion industry as a makeup artist but soon found herself on the other side of the camera. She has spent many years as a model and started working internationally in Tokyo, Milan, New York, Paris as well as across Canada. After landing in Paris with a couple of hundred dollars in her pocket she worked to become a fixture on the European runway circuit modelling for designers such as Commes des Garcons, Yohji Yamamoto, Fendi, Castelbajac, Karl Lagerfeld and Chanel.

After returning to Vancouver with European credentials, so many new opportunities opened up for Diane like flying between Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto to model in photoshoots and runway shows, working with photographers by styling photoshoots, even assisting the show producers that she was modelling for. This background gave Diane great hands on experience on how the industry worked and she quickly used those skills to create a thriving business of her own.

Diane has always been able to create strong connections with both clients and coworkers. With her creative eye and personal style, she has recently switched her focus to help a wide spectrum of both men and women define their own personal look as a Personal Stylist. Her style is well known for its energy, sophistication, honesty and attention to detail.

In 2016 Diane was  selected as one of Vancouver Magazine’s Vancouver’s Best Dressed and in 2017 she received the honour of being named an Industry Originator by Vancouver Fashion Week as well as being profiled in many publications.

When she takes a moment away from fashion you can find Diane spending time travelling with her husband, Robert, working in her garden, practicing yoga or trying out new local craft beer!
