Earnest Diaz
About the creator
Hon. D. F. A. Earnest’s career in design began when he was only five years old. Watching his mother sew clothing for him as a child sparked a love for the craft and its creativity. This creative thinking is what would lead him on several successful paths in the future. His extraordinary imagination and extended knowledge of fashion opened opportunities to work with A-list celebrities and individuals representing large corporations. Earnest was able to bring all their ideas to life and more.
Earnest worked with different forms of clothing including business attire, wedding dresses, tuxedos, evening attire, as well as casual and western attire. Some of the collections he designed included handbags, underwear, exterior survival equipment, and an Avant-Garde collection for men. His experience in working with a variety of fashion items opened a door to work in film, stage and television. There he designed costumes for magicians, appropriate clothing for commercials, and apparel for reality shows as well as the silver screen.
An assistant designer of Tim Hamrock Interiors at the time, Earnest’s talent came to the attention of Olympic gold medalist Carl Lewis. In 1999, Lewis became his first major client. Earnest chose to collaborate with his friend B. Woskow Esq. to design the project for the International Mars Society. According to our understanding, Earnest is the only fashion designer in history to design a full collection for life on Mars. The collection was exhibited at the Fifth Annual Meeting of the Mars Society in Boulder, Colorado on August 8, 2002. Some of the items featured in this exhibit included daywear, nightwear, evening wear, and children’s clothing. In Earnest fashion, he also included Mars outfits for pets.
2003 Earnest introduced the Reject Collection in silient protest to the political upheavel the administration at the time, was pushing.
In 2005, Earnest found inspiration from a client to create a full collection of Men’s underwear. It was named “Sk’n” - “The Uninhabited Pleasure” which later expanded to include E-Lounge wear.
Although his work radiated and shined, it was not a reflection of his life. Unbeknownst to everyone, Earnest suffered the loss of family, friends, and the love of his life. Depression soon began to take over his life although he tried extremely hard to not allow it to do so. To combat it, Earnest wrote his way out from the darkness.
Earnest states, “I was starting to be physically ill as I covered my emotions, I had nowhere to turn. Everyone was looking to me for signs that things were going to be okay. Nobody ever asked me how I was doing, but I was always there to cheer everyone up. One morning I picked up my phone, pulled up the notes section, and typed ‘What do I have to be thankful for?’ After a few weeks passed, I met with a dear friend that convinced me to have the work published and thus Thankful was born.”
In 2007, Earnest begins designing for Grammy-nominated vocalist Tamar Davis music video "Ex Friend". Tamar in known as one of the origianl members of Desinty's Child and for co-writing the 3121 album Prince.
In September of 2007, Earnest teamed up with KM to produce the sound of Sk’n.
In 2008, Earnest creates the Caligula collection, offering his design skills to appeal to a broader adult audience. In regard to this collection a client states, “Women have basic underwear, Lingerie, and extreme vulgar undergarments. Men just have underwear in different colors or extremely vulgar undergarments that are almost whimsical, nothing tasteful with an edge to it”. Earnest stepped up to the challenge and created a small collection of underwear for men.
Earnest received an invitation to design for Jonathan Sandys, the great-grandson of Winston Churchill. Sandys wore a design of Earnest to the royal wedding at Buckingham Palace in 2010. Shortly after, Earnest became a brand designer, opening his creativity to a reality television couple and an internationally renowned artist.
In 2012, Earnest began creating apparel for Mykel Hawke and Ruth England Hawke’s projects.
They are best known for their show Man, Woman, Wild on the Discovery Channel. On January 9th, Earnest’s design premiered on Mykel Hawke’s show Elite Tactical Unit.
In February of 2013, Earnest was scheduled to become the late Chris Kyle’s brand designer.
From 2014 to 2016, Earnest began designing suits, vests, and t-shirts for Jumper Maybach, a painter who was preparing for his movie The Jumper Maybach Story.
Earnest was more than just a fashion designer. His skills and creative imagination allowed him to also dabble in music as well as writing. In fact, he has two dance songs that he wrote and co-produced for two artists.
In 2015, Earnest brought great change for the LGBT community in the USA. When the Marriage Equality Act was passed by Supreme Court Earnest realized, “Now is the time to bring what I had been working on in the background, forward.” This landmark decision triggered Earnest to compile all his design ideas, directions, and notes into a manuscript. This resulted in the creation of “Unity, New Traditions for LGBT Couples.”
Earnest states, “From a very young age, I knew I was different, and I wanted a different ceremony for people like me, something fresh with traditions, but respectful of religions and traditions of past, today and the future.”
In the winter of 2016, Earnest's first book Thankful received the prestigious International Publisher Award (IPA) for Best Inspirational Book of the Year.
In 2017, shortly after receiving the IPA award, Earnest took time off to care for his best friend who was diagnosed with Stage IV Pancreatic Cancer. Unfortunately, Earnest's friend passed on December 13, 2017.
After taking time off, Earnest reignited his musical artistry. Earnest took the initiative to create music for an upcoming documentary based on Unity.
The summer of 2019 kicks off with a hit song by Earnest. "Let Them Eat Cake (Chapter 18)" is becoming known as the international fight song with its infectious beat causing people to dance. It is available on numerous music platforms worldwide.
With the pandemic in 2020, Earnest took time to reflect on meetings and conversations with Mykle Hawke regarding various fabrics that were used in ancient times. Due to this, he began to research the best textile he could use to protect his clients. With his research, he designed and created custom masks made with Silverdora and Cool-max. These fabrics provide the best protection and breathability.
In August of 2020, Earnest collaborated with Danum Sudarmadi, an Animation Director, to create the official music video for “Let Them Eat Cake.” Earnest wanted to bring a fresh take on the worlds 16 most sports. Once the music video was completed, he began submitting the music video to film festivals globally. The video was awarded 103 accolades across six continents, making it the best animated sports music videos ever made.
