Fashionpreneur & Influencer Diana confesses on her lowest moments in life, and how she got up and turned things around.

Apart from her outlook which often screams “girls-just-wanna-have-fun”, Diana shares a very serious view on love and live. We were beyond surprised to have her talking about her lowest moments in life, long before she became the Diana Rikasari we know and admire. She was the victim of bullying at school for her quirky and bubbly character in the oppressive environment back in 90s. Should she gave up being herself that time, she wouldn’t be the person she is now, who has successfully defined the new beauty in Indonesia.
