Where does the name ‘Cali Diamond’ come from?
Initially Cali Diamond started as my modelling alias because at the time I wasn’t sure if I wanted to use my real name or not so I came up with Cali Diamond. Then I decided that I wanted to include other models in the brand with me kind of like an Agency. People became really excited about these designs which was awesome. It has just been this ever evolving lifestyle brand.
