Diane Ferjane was born to a Lebanese family and raised between France & Lebanon. She feels
fortunate to have been exposed to both the East & West simultaneously as she believes this helped to
sculpt her view on the world whilst influencing her style. Intrigued by the fashion world she decided
to study fashion in Beirut at the renowned fashion school, ESMOD.
After graduating Diane found
herself participating in several fashion shows, theatre and on movie sets as a costume designer.
Over the years her work gained the attention of many including Lebanese designer Rabih Keyrouz who recruited her as his assistant.
Although enthused by her career as a designer’s assistant, Diane always felt the desire to begin her own brand. In 2005 Diane was given the opportunity by Alice Edde to launch her brand in the old Souk in Byblos. Humbled by the offer Diane accepted and based her brand in the Souk for a number of years.
