Meet Diana Corpus | Wardrobe & Costume Stylist

We had the good fortune of connecting with Diana Corpus and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Diana, how do you think about risk?
Without risk taking, I would not be where I am today. I attended university and earned my BA in Communications and a minor in Anthropology, this was my plan b. My plan a, was to become a wardrobe stylist. When I wasn’t working or attending school, I was interning in Los Angeles and going to events to network. All while living in Corona, CA. I sacrificed my social life and dedicated it to earning my BA and yearning for my opportunity that would eventually land. Through hard work, passion, dedication, and perseverance, I finally had landed my first styling job. From there, my name grew and I started getting referrals. Along my journey, I had no support from anyone when it came to my dreams. I learned early on, I was the one who had to go out and make it happen. It can be a scary thing to follow your dreams, especially a creative career because you do along the way experience as the saying goes, “I’m a starving artist”, but you must breath, live, and die, by your passion. Wardrobe styling is my fire. Styling is my gateway and release from normalcy.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
My career began when I started my line, Diana Corpus Jewelry. I was a vendor at many events and craft fairs around Southern California. I make jewelry that is considered otherworldly. I also design custom clothing. My designs have been featured in music videos and both national and international publications. This notoriety, helped me in my pursuit to be a stylist. I want the world to know that thru my art, you have a piece of my heart. My essence is in each piece I design and create. I hope that my art brings inspiration and positive reinforcement.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?

Wilson, hopefully see wildlife TUESDAY – relax by the pool and cook Mexican food (morning, lunch and dinner) WEDNESDAY – visit Big Rock Beach in Malibu and than eat at Paradise Cove Beach Cafe THURSDAY – visit the The Getty Center FRIDAY – party at Avalon in Hollywood SATURDAY – spend the day at Universal Studios Hollywood.
