Stella Jean in Haiti, ITC Ethical Fashion Initiative, Haiti, 2014

By | 10:11 AM Leave a Comment
Watch Stella Jean as she returns home to Haiti and see the inspiration behind her Spring/Summer 2015 collection.  She is noticeably inspired by the county's art, the culture, and her collaboration with Haiti's artisans. Next summer's accessories will be all about hand-painted fer forgé cuffs; smooth horn bracelets, colourful raffia beaded necklaces and papier-maché fruit.

"And that is the driving force of her work: unwinding the beauty of designs inspired by an exotic - by Western standards - heritage and giving them a more universal retelling through collections that have steadily gained traction over the seasons." Stella Jean 

                     








"Stella Jean collaborates with the
Ethical Fashion Initiative to produce luxury handicrafts, under ethical and fair conditions, with artisans in Africa and Haiti. Stella Jean has visited Burkina Faso and Haiti to develop her collections. The Ethical Fashion Initiative and Stella Jean share ethical principles and values of women empowerment and poverty reduction."
