STELLA JEAN

In LOVE with Stella Jean's swimwear collections. The designer'ssignature style and brand identity is recognized by her mastery of bold ethnic prints and unique silhouettes.

The Italian born designer of Haitian origin, grew up in Rome where art and fashion were part of her daily routine.  Working as a model for Egon Von Fürstenberg she discovered her passion for design. She wont the prestigious Who is On Next 2011 talent contest and went on to debut her own collection during Milan’s Fashion Week 2012. Stella Jean’s expression of multicultural design is produced through the ITC, the Ethical Fashion Initiative, and in collaborating with the International Trade Center, a joint agency of the World Trade Organization and the United Nations. The Ethical Fashion Initiative focus is to create beautiful luxury handwork produced ethically by disadvantaged communities in Africa. The ITC programme generates work by creating an infrastructure where the luxury fashion industry can develop and produce products. It is about proper accountability, sustainability and environmentally sound production, they promote sustainable economic development and opportunity.
