ChiStyle: Diego

"The world doesn’t owe you anything, you owe the world something, so stop daydreaming and start doing. Develop a backbone, not a wishbone. It’s too late to sit around and wait for somebody to do something someday. Someday is now; the somebody the world needs is you."
-Horuhe Za-Bara

Diego is a recent graduate of Northwestern University. He is a recent grad with a degree in marketing and plans to work abroad. In the meantime, however, he strives to enjoy the warm Chicago weather while catching up with hometown buddies. "I grew up in Barrington (Illinois), which is really far from Chicago" stated the 24-year-old. "Coming home will be a great opportunity for me to catch up with my family, friends, and really have the chance to center myself."

PdM discovered Diego while working in a well-known retail shop on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago. He immediately became enamored by the idea of wearing what he wears best: professional attire. However, Diego wants to take his chance at fitness modeling one day. "I think I have what it takes," he mentioned with a big grin on his face. "I eat right, exercise, and I've been told I have a good luck, but we'll see, right?"

Diego, who implied he wasn't interested in making modeling a career, believes that he wants to use his abilities for good. "With a marketing degree, some people will think you're the devil," he mentioned matter-of-factly. "The reality is that there is so much good you can do, and I want to step up to the challenge."

PdM would like to thank Roger and Maria Cerqua for allowing the team to capture Diego in their Barrington home and Michael Rodriguez for his amazing photography skills.
