DIAMOND DIARY: Prep, Punk & Pechuga

Dear Diamond Diary….

A mix of grit and glamour, subculture styling, and DIY rebellion. Fashion that cuts, clashes, and confesses! Ripped pages from the underground.

This week…..

DIY

Handmade leather accessories and custom detailing for a shoot with Grace Neutral. Tattoo needle gloves, a choker backpack piece, and experimental goth/punk craft. The raw process behind alternative couture.

Commercial

Behind the scenes of the fashion shoot: blackout curtains taped up, rails of garments prepped, the custom backpiece tested under the lights. Commercial styling meets creative problem-solving, built on equal parts chaos and invention. More pics of the shoot in progress next week!

OOTD

Outfits this week included denim, plaid, chains, and boots found years ago at Schuh (now only to be hunted down second-hand on Vinted). Chunky grungey footwear and layered punky details for everyday rebellion!

In the Studio

A glimpse into the creativity and rhythm of the studio: such beautiful light cuts through the windows, I feel very lucky . All my rails of colourful clothes stacked up and accessories spilling out. Outfit prep, pups, and the organised chaos behind every shoot.

Top Reels

Preppy to punky in literally under 60 seconds. Leopard print, tartan, and platform boots: styling that shifts from polished to rebellious with one quick change. A reminder that for me, fashion is transformation, performance, attitude.

Shopping

Scored a metallic Vivienne Westwood portrait corset on Vinted for a fraction of the retail price. Verified the product code against Pechuga Vintage and yes, it’s genuine. Proof that thrifting meets fashion archive if you know where to look 👀

Inspo

Where couture bleeds into chaos: corsets like armour, boots like relics, jackets spiked with resistance. Distressed clothing always has a big place in my heart- I plan to experiment with some fabric ageing techniques so I can create exactly what’s in my brain…

These entries aren’t neat or finished. They’re snapshots: of process, of rebellion, of what happens in the studio and on the street. My work sits between archive and experiment, between fashion as utility and fashion as performance.

Until next week xM💎
