In scientific terminology, a berry is a fruit produced from the ovary of a single flower in which the outer  layer of the ovary wall develops into an edible fleshy portion. 


Because of their fiber and liquid content, berries give us a feeling of fullness so it's perfect when you're trying to watch the calories.


Strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and raspberries are powerful super foods.  They are rich in nutrients, antioxidants, and phytochemicals which may prevent the effects of aging, high blood pressure, and certain types of cancer.  



And they taste great!

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.

Donna Karan, founder of The Urban Zen Foundation, along with Haitian designer Paula Coles, and the New School’s Parsons School of Design, were in Haiti for the launch of The DOT center (Design, Organization and Training), a new artisan vocational training center in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.  


 “This has been my dream ever since I first went to Haiti four years ago. Just as Haitian artisans have inspired me, I hope they are inspired and empowered as this journey begins.”Donna Karan 

The DOT center will be a hub for the Haitian artisan community, providing resources and materials.  


The concept will be similar to a co-op system, where becoming a member, artisans will have access to hands-on training by designers and educators, modern machinery and tools, network of contacts and buyers, as well as access to an interest free loan developed by the Clinton Foundation to provide artisans with start up capital for orders.   





Under the tutelage of designers and educators, including Karan and Parsons faculty members, artisans will receive hands-on instruction in material fabrication, including horn, metal, textile, ceramics, natural dying, beading, leather and recycled materials, as well as instruction in the use of new tools and materials to complete their designs.




Local designers, artists, and artisans were invited to the program launch to showcase their works for the review of Karan and her team, and to learn more about the program.


























Recipients of the Parsons Design Fellowship program grant, will remain in Haiti, and have the opportunity to work at the DOT center for six to eight weeks. The students will propose and develop product explorations for design development and production, research local practices and local materials and expanding the range of locally produced products. They will also develop and lead workshops for local artisans in the areas of jewelry, textile development, leather, pottery, hand dying, printing and beading.
