Fashion – Chicago

One day two students of the Illinois Institute of Art -Chicago took a pattern making class. It was a meeting of fate when they realized the two possessed a quirky personality with eye catching style. Fast forward a year and DiLi was born. The boisterous duo combined their two different design styles to produce a lifestyle brand founded in wearable art. Leahs Sew Amanda:She always had a love for the arts, and music, her parents always encouraged cultural activities to broaden her horizons. Today as a designer she still uses music to inspire her craft. She loves to pay attention to the details, style lines, buttons, and zippers. She feels that clothing should allow a person to express themself; giving people a chance to show off to the world. She enjoys the use of texture and color to bring her ideas to life!!!! D. Marie : "Ok everyone! Time for a fashion show!" Even as a little one she commanded audiences to pipe down and pay attention to her fashion ideas. Cutting up shirts, socks, and grabbing any fabric scraps she could to prepare outfit after outfit for her dolls. As a designer she still conceptualizes her imagiation to bring her creations to you, using elements of life and design. Her philosophy as a designer is to create clothing that is bold, fun, and polished
