ABOUT DIANA
Working as a design consultant in the fashion industry since 2011, Diana is a creative thinker and strategic doer with a curious mind that has led her through four continents, making her passionate about eclectic styles. A mix of bright colors and bold combinations with clean shapes in everyday sartorial fashion is her signature as a designer.
Due to this broad recollection of experiences, together with her upbringing in Venezuela, Diana has also channeled her interest for design through sustainability, social inclusion and empowerment in one single project: Diana Yanes Consulting, aiming to offer authentic, genuine, innovative, and sustain- ability-driven solutions to companies in the industry.
Since 2015 Diana started working in sustainability through a social integration program, training male detainees to stitch. In this laboratory she started experimenting with upcycling projects, which she is very passionate about and is willing to integrate more in her work.
With the aim of making Diana Yanes Consulting grow and have more tools to help its clients, Diana started pursuing an MBA in Sustainable Luxury Management in 2021.
Aside from work, Diana is also a mother to Martina and a partner to Massimiliano. Her family is the driving force to everything she does
