It wasn’t long before friends and family were turning to Diane for help in amplifying their otherwise average wardrobe purchased at traditional department stores.

Fueling her passion for fashion into a career, she attended and graduated from the Virginia Marti College of Art & Design in Lakewood, Ohio, and subsequently launched Styles of Imagination in 1999, a store front boutique located in Maple Heights, Ohio; Styles of Imagination open a second store in downtown Cleveland Ohio, named II Styles of Fashions. After closing both stores in 2005, Diane went on to start her own clothing line.
