Survivor of child abuse and breast cancer
In the late 60’s, Diane followed the music scene to San Francisco, hand-crafting one-of-a-kind denim creations for Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Grace Slick & Jefferson Airplane, Jerry Garcia & the Grateful Dead, Jim Morrison & the Doors, the list goes on…Diane moved closer to her childhood dream in the mid-70’s when she moved to New York City. In the early 80’s she was discovered by Bloomingdale’s to produce her first full collection. Diane Gilman went on to be credited as the first designer to introduce washable silk in the US; a coup which brought her broad fashion department store recognition and millions of devoted followers.
