as passionate with tarot cards as she is with clothes and fashion, diane is launching a mystical, spiritual, intemporal, one of a kind kimono jacket & pants line, called monoki.
each jacket comes from a karate school, they are dyed and washed, and stitched with leather and fabric by a special artisan. then they are all hand stitched with multicolored threads, like a signature that is adding a unique touch. this long artisanal process is ended by the blessing of a shaman, in big sur, ca for protection. then, diane adds to each kimono a tarot card in which she writes the meaning of it , and the good vibe.
inside monoki 's story, you can start to find a mini capsule collection of jacket, pant and even bag, all from diane's inspiration, combining her love for nice and luxurious fabrics , embroideries, spirituality and mystic.
