Diana Studio is the evolution of a knitwear manufacturer in Prato that has been in operation for over fifty years. It is a project born from within the Italian production system to rethink the way fashion is made — and talked about — in Italy. With Rumori Quotidiani, Diana Studio presented itself to the public for the first time. The event, hosted at Aretè Showroom in Milan, unfolded as an immersive journey through the knitwear production process: yarns, textures, and techniques presented as living elements, accompanied by the real sounds of the factory’s machines — the acoustic landscape that gives the whole operation its name.

The installation, curated by Nicola Pantano, led visitors from raw material to finished garment, with a long interweaving of sleeves as a tactile installation and a video documenting the gestures, machinery, and faces of production. In the garden, the Spring Summer 27 collection was presented in a suspended, almost floating arrangement — emphasizing the lightness of the materials and the sensory dimension of knitwear.

Diana Studio’s production model is vertical and transparent: part of the collection is made in-house in Prato under the Manufatto Italiano line, another part in Bangladesh through partners selected and continuously supervised by the Italian technical team, using high-quality Italian yarns and structured working conditions. Not a compromise, but a clear statement of intent — designed to change things within a complex system. The goal, says the team behind Diana Studio, is straightforward: to make the best possible product at the best possible price. To invest in the knitwear before the image.
