HI! I'M DIANA RIKASARI...


photo blog 1_zpsncr6rtgu.jpg

Diana Rikasari is an award-winning blogger, fashion entrepreneur, and book author. Shy, often a wallflower, but a hyperactive shy wallflower.

She shares a high interest towards entrepreneurship, branding, marketing & market research. She loves paying attention to advertisements, marketing campaigns, the way people sell. A business girl, she thinks she is. And a marketing geek.

On another note, Diana is definitely passionate about fashion. Not necessarily a fashionista, however, just someone who appreciates art and sees art within clothes, shoes, bags and accessories. She breaks boundaries when dressing up, clashing anything she feels like clashing. Because clashing is her way of challenging the obvious. And she loves that.

Being active in the blogosphere since 2007, Diana has won several blog awards and become public speaker in various seminars and workshops. In 2011 and 2012, this blog ranked #1 in IndonesiaMatters.com, being the most visited blog in Indonesia across all blog categories. With these achievements, Diana has been appointed to become Brand Ambassador of various local and international brands, ranging from fashion to beauty to telecommunication products, as featured in various local and international media.

Diana also launched a clothing line called SCHMILEY MO which showcased in Jakarta Fashion Week, Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week, London Fashion Week, Torino Fashion Week and Dubai, however ended in 2019 due to personal reasons.

  20. Selamat ya atas blognya. Anda termasuk dunia dinamakan sebagai 'ego blogger'. Uda ndak jaman lagi orang liat fashion di majalah, semua beralih ke 'personal style blog' seperti ini.

    Ada cerita sukses yang awalnya krn dia pengen masuk catwalk di kota besar tp ndak diterima akhirnya menggunakan style baju sendiri yang awalnya murah. Akhirnya karena blognya ramai menggunakan top branded karena para top brand ini pengen melihat produk mereka dipakai sama orang biasa sehari-hari.

    Salam

    Tresna
