Dian Pelangi

Dian Pelangi, born in 1991 in Palembang, Indonesia, is a leading fashion designer known for her innovative take on modest wear, particularly for Muslim women. A graduate of the prestigious cole Suprieure des Arts et Techniques de la Mode (ESMOD) in Paris, Dian quickly made a name for herself in Indonesia and internationally. 

She founded her eponymous fashion brand "Dian Pelangi" with a focus on vibrant, contemporary designs that blend traditional Indonesian elements such as batik and songket with modern styles. 

Her brand caters to the growing market of young Muslim women who seek to express their faith while embracing fashion-forward attire.
Dian's rise to prominence began when she showcased her work at Jakarta Fashion Week in 2010.

 From that point forward, she continued to present her collections on international platforms, including shows in Paris, New York, London, and Dubai.

 Her ability to balance modesty with fashion innovation has garnered her attention not only in Indonesia but also globally. Her collections often feature bright colors, intricate patterns, and a fusion of global and Indonesian cultures, making her a leading figure in the global modest fashion movement.

One of Dian's defining moments came when she represented Indonesia at New York Couture Fashion Week. Her bold, sophisticated designs resonated with international audiences and solidified her reputation as a designer capable of elevating modest fashion into the mainstream. Dian also participated in the prestigious London College of Fashion's "Designer in Residence" initiative, further expanding her global footprint.

Dian's influence extends beyond fashion. She is also a passionate advocate for women's empowerment and entrepreneurship, especially for young women in the Muslim community. Through her work and public appearances, she encourages women to pursue their dreams while staying true to their cultural and religious values. 

She frequently speaks at conferences and participates in industry panels, where she discusses the intersection of faith, culture, and fashion.

Dian Pelangi's brand has grown into a global enterprise, with stores and clients not only in Indonesia but also across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. Her designs are celebrated for their craftsmanship and artistry, offering a fresh take on modest wear that challenges stereotypes and sets new trends in the industry. 

In addition to her fashion line, Dian has also written a book, *Hijab Street Style*, which highlights the diversity and creativity of Muslim fashion worldwide.

What makes Dian particularly inspiring is her dedication to social causes. She regularly collaborates with artisans and local craftsmen to ensure her designs reflect authentic Indonesian heritage while supporting local economies. Her brand promotes sustainability by working with traditional materials and emphasizing slow fashion, which contrasts with the mass-production approach of many global fashion brands.
