Prajje Jean-Baptiste 'Made in Haiti'

By | 2:33 PM Leave a Comment
December 2014, after over twenty years, designer Prajje Jean-Baptiste visited, the island of his birth, Ayiti.  Jean-Baptiste had traveled all over and received international accolades for his designs, but he still longed to be known and to benefit Haiti.  


Jean-Baptiste, along with his team in New York, enlisted the help of, on the ground Branding and Marketing teams of; H. Mystique Inc and JP Media Group.  The group created, L'art de la Mode,  the first fashion exhibit in Haiti, held at one of the county's most renowned art galleries, Galerie D'art Nader.  



The time in Haiti allowed the designer to reconnect with his roots and served as an amazing source of inspiration.  Jean-Baptiste returned to New York after the show with the burning desire and pledge to have his next collection made exclusively in Haiti.  


This month, Team Prajje 1983, held 'La Mode a Bois Caiman', a fundraising event at Vodou Lounge in Brooklyn, New York.



The event was to support Haiti Fashion Project Fundraiser to support, Prajje 1983 Spring/Summer collection, 1st Haiti made collection.    


Special guest performances by Monvelyno and Riva.    

Make-up by Martiza Real of Le Boudoir Style and Falicia Ann of Purple & Pink.   




The turnout was great and the support amazing.
























On behalf of Mr. Jean-Baptiste we want to thank everyone who came out and supported.  Thanks to those who donated either money or time. We thank you and let's keep on pushing. Prajje 1983 continues to operate due in large part to the generous support of the individual donors who believe in our vision and mission. Your contribution will allow a young designer and his collection to reach the audience and the clients needed for the emergence of his brand.
