Fashion – Newcastle
6 Souls is a handmade, bohemian line dreamed up by designer Diane Clifford.
Originally born in Manchester, England, Diane migrated with her family to Australia and resided in Sydney, NSW.
As a child, Diane started designing clothes for all of her dolls. Inspired by her grandmother who was a dressmaker, making clothes was in her blood. Her passion to create led Diane to teach herself the skills of pattern and dressmaking.
Early teenage years were spent having Christmas holidays on the sunny beaches of Byron Bay and Brunswick Heads. This is where she met a local surfer who was to be her husband and the father to her four beautiful daughters.
In the 1970's Diane was living between Byron Bay and Mullumbimby. She became a manager at the first groovy clothes shop in Mullumbimby and Byron Bay called "Sunshine Love".
