Fashion Buyer, Fashion lecturer and Business owner, Diane Curtis has a wealth of knowledge in buying departments for both small and large International fashion brands. Qualifications include BA Business, Diploma Teaching, Professional Certificate MBA, and Masters of Strategic Fashion Marketing from the London College of Fashion.

Diane's passion for becoming a fashion buyer began in the womb. Her parents were manufacturing and supplying fashion footwear across Australia and New Zealand, and as a child her father would seek Diane's feedback on the range, where she happily gave her feedback on different styles and trends.

At age 10, Diane's innate passion for fashion was evident, with bookshelves full of fashion magazines, every month she would be sure to purchase a fashion magazine and spend hours scanning the pages to take in the latest fashion trends.

As Diane reached her adult years, she still had a deep desire to work in buying roles and expand her knowledge, and travelled to London to work in buying departments for large fashion brands.

Senior roles in buying continued with International fashion brands: Armani Exchange, CK Calvin Klein, and French Connection.

Diane has been a fashion lecturer at top universities for almost 10 years as well as a business owner at The Wellness Union - running wellness courses and workshops internationally.

Diane's approach is to educate students about the foundations of key skills required, knowledge and duties that are conducted. Diane's passion is in helping students to become confident and preparing them with the knowledge to succeed.
