| Trade Show is expected to receive 750,000 visitors over the course of its six months at the Museum of Contemporary Art. On April 9th, 2005, MASS MoCA becomes the next stop in House of Diehl's Global Style Tribes™ project, hosting a live Instant Couture™ event-this one inspired by New England. The creations from this city-specific fashion line, which uses audience members as model and muse for each work, will be immediately incorporated into the continuing Trade Show exhibition. MASS MoCA is dedicated to provocative visual, and performing, arts pieces, and of works that blur conventional lines between artistic disciplines. MASS MoCA also functions as a laboratory, fostering experimentation by artists, and allowing visitors a behind-the-scenes look at the creative process. Past exhibitors include Matthew Ritchie, Joseph Beuys, Jeff Koons, Robert Rauschenberg, and David Byrne. House of Diehl's MJ Diehl and Roman Milisic have been called “Nothing short of Revolutionary!” (ABC Eyewitness News); and, “The Aesthetic Gurus of the new Millennium,” (H magazine).

Juschka Gallery, in New York, as well as the Hollywood Standard in Los Angeles. They have delivered their Instant Couture™ event to thousands of people worldwide, in events at New York's Puck Building, the Downtown LA Standard, the Priska C.Juschka Gallery, and 93 Feet East in London.
