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 turnout was great and the support amazing.
