In Diane Kari’s home, reminders of the modern world are few and far between. To cultivate her ideal way of life, this young content creator has filled her attic flat in Paris’ 18th arrondissement with vintage pieces. Diane’s undying love for second-hand shopping stems from her teenage years, when she spent hours rummaging through used clothes in search of treasures for her and her friends. Today, this love has materialised into her own fashion e-shop: “Fripouille Vintage”. As she ventured into the world of entrepreneurship, this jill-of-all-trades was able to combine her adventurous taste – in terms of fashion and decor – with her eclectic style and her desire to share and communicate. In fact, she has found a whole community of second-hand enthusiasts with whom she shares her colourful everyday life on Instagram. And her quirky home makes the perfect backdrop! In Diane’s world, nothing is permanent. Her studio is the stage for a never-ending ballet of design pieces, which the former arts student unearths on specialised sites then resells. Diane’s joyful furniture, like the Knoll tulip table and Nessino lamp, reflects her sunny and generous personality. With a free and curious spirit drawn to beautiful things, Diane has learnt to let her mood guide her: “this flat is like me: it changes its look all the time, from a new vase to a colourful tartan rug on the bed.” The Parisienne clearly has lots of fun playing mix & match on the 7th floor of her Haussmann building. She has transformed her intimate home into a warm space for living and hosting, with spectacular views of Montmartre to boot!
