Nothing is as it appears with Diana Linda. She looks at a disposable plastic bottle and creates a trendy bangle, looks at zari and whips up shoes. We're still trying to spot that elephant she sees in the clouds

Philosophy student-turned-fashion designer, Diana Linda came to Mumbai nine years ago when she was volunteering for Doctors Without Borders, a medical NGO, on a short visit and ended up making it her home. Originally from Italy, she says, "I don't get cheated by autorickshaws anymore, I am a full Mumbaikar now."
Not only has she gained the trust of the auto drivers, but she's also set up shack and shop in Mumbai. From her Juhu apartment, which doubles up as her studio, she spends her time working on new ways to wear old clothes.
