Diana Studio launches with immersive knitwear exhibition in Milan

exhibition · 2026-06-22

Diana Studio, an evolution of a Prato knitwear factory operating for over fifty years, presented its debut collection 'Rumori Quotidiani' at the Aretè Showroom in Milan. The event featured an immersive installation curated by Nicola Pantano, guiding visitors from raw materials to finished garments through tactile displays and a video documenting production processes. The Spring Summer 27 collection was displayed in the garden, emphasizing material lightness. Diana Studio adopts a vertical production model: part of the collection is made in Prato under the 'Manufatto Italiano' line, while another part is produced in Bangladesh with Italian yarns and supervised by Italian technicians. The team aims to produce the best possible product at the best possible price, prioritizing investment in knitwear over image.
