Houston, Texas & Wamego, Kansas – Feb 8, 2025 – Renowned Texas fashion designer Earnest Diaz of Earnest House of Diaz has made headlines with his decision to donate the meticulously crafted Cowardly Lion’s King of the Forest cape to the Oz Museum in Wamego, Kansas. Initially considering auctioning the cape with an opening bid of $17,000, Earnest ultimately chose to secure the cape’s legacy in a permanent home, reinforcing his commitment to the arts and culture of the Oz community.
The cape, which took an impressive 622 hours of hand-sewing and an additional week for construction and lining, was featured in the December issue of Fashion Art Media Magazine, where Earnest graced the cover. This stunning piece not only showcases his extraordinary craftsmanship but also embodies the spirit of creativity and artistry that defines his work.
“By donating the cape to the Oz Museum, I hope to inspire future generations and contribute to the rich tapestry of storytelling that Oz represents. It’s a piece that deserves to be seen and appreciated by all.”
Earnest is not only a fashion designer but also a trailblazer in the industry, holding seven Honorary Doctorates of Fine Arts. His impressive portfolio includes designs for Olympic gold medalist Carl Lewis, Reality TV couple Mykel and Ruth Hawke, a Emmy-winning children’s shows, and Grammy-nominated artist Tamar Davis. He is also known for his respectful approach to redesigning weddings for LGBT couples, honoring diverse religious traditions worldwide.
In addition to his fashion accolades, Earnest has made significant strides in the music industry as a composer, producer, and director, earning 162 awards for three music videos.
