Diane & Co. is changing the name of fashion. 

We are New Jersey’s finest women's formalwear boutique.  When you shop at Diane & Co. you are shopping where the couture legacy began. For more than 33years, Diane & Co. has helped the everyday woman learn that it is possible to look and feel fabulous.  What makes Diane & Co. so unique is our desire to fulfill our customers' visions. What makes us so extraordinary is my dedication and professional staff.  Each of my employees has received personal fashion training by me and industry professionals to ensure they can provide a level of service that would exceed my expectations.

We treat each of our clients in a unique manner.  Our approach to shopping is different.  We solely provide one-on-one customer service.  When you enter our boutique, you will be greeted with a smile by one of our professionally trained consultants who understand your individuality.

With listening ears, a keen sense of style, and a vision of perfection she will guide you to your perfect garment-limited only by your imagination.

At Diane & Co. you will only find the newest styles and trends in evening and formalwear.  We carry extraordinary gowns, cocktail dresses and suits as well as Sweet 16, Bat Mitzvah and prom gowns.  We also offer special orders and custom designs. To finish off your look, we have the latest styles in accessories and shoes.  What sets Diane & Co. apart from other boutiques is our Prom and Couture Legacy.  Each year, we sell over 3000 prom gowns to thousands of amazing young ladies.  Each of our prom clients are paired with the dress of their dreams.  No matter if you want Princess or Sophisticated, we have it all from over 100 manufacturers.  If you’re looking to leave a lasting legacy at your prom, then Diane & Co. is your destination. It is important to point out that at Diane & Co. we do not allow girls to try on gowns without a parent.  We enforce this guideline in order to provide our clients with the upmost service. Since we cannot place gowns on hold and our gowns are all FINAL SALE, we cannot allow girls to purchase gowns without a parent.  When you’re ready to find that special dress, have your mom or dad set aside some time to enjoy this fun experience.  It will certainly be one you will never forget.

Our Couture Legacy started when several of our clients wanted “over the top.”  They wanted a dress that would make them feel glamorous at their son or daughter’s event or at their upcoming Gala’s.  So we created our “Back Room.”  This spectacular room showcases gowns starting at $2,000 and stretch beyond the imagination.  My staff and I can recreate a gown from top designers that will work best with your shape and vision. Appointments for the “Back Room” are recommended but not mandatory.

Not in the market for a $2000 gown? That’s not a problem. We carry several designers that offer fabulous gowns at reasonable prices.  No matter your budget, Diane & Co. is dedicated to find you the dress you need to make yourself a Lasting Legacy.

We pride ourselves on our customer service and dedication.  At Diane & Co, there is always an owner on site.  We offer on-site stylists and consultants, custom fitters, sewers and steamers.  You and your gown will receive the utmost personal attention.

We have been dressing women like you for over 30 years!
I look forward to meeting you and sharing in your special day!

Here is a slide show of the rest of the evening taken by Anna Kuchma followed by videos from the show as well.

Global Runway's Night Out at Paramount Hotel, NYC April 15th. 2010

Global Runway's Night Out at Paramount Hotel, NYC April 15th. 2010 presented by IAAC (Indo-American Arts council, Inc.) www.iaac.us

We work cooperatively with colleagues around the United States to broaden our collective audiences and to create a network for shared information, resources and funding. Our focus is to help artists and art organizations in North America as well as to facilitate artists from India to exhibit, perform and produce their work here.

I attended the Global Runway's Night Out  and it was a great and wonderful experience of wonderful people and great culture and couture all put together. The models dazzled the ballroom with the most beautiful designed outfits and jewelry that complemented them in the most wonderful way. It was a long show but it was well worth seeing the vision of each designer presented to you one at a time. Couple of things really stood out to me from the rest was the model wearing a beautiful bridal like gown that captivated everyone's attention, also there was an amazing piece that was a made up of 3 pieces that included a small shirt, Capri pants and a long Robe to complete the outfit. Also who can ever forget the last piece of the show - a show stopper a black dress with peacock feathers in the back. It was incredible: strapless with a bustier tight top and full and heavily layered tulle bottom.
