Stella Jean - Official Account Information

--- This is the only official Stella Jean account --- Stella Jean is a Rome based fashion label. The brand is characterized by a cultural métissage of Italian-Haitian heritage which echoes and evokes the designer's personal roots and story. Her creations are incessantly inspired by her multiculturalism, which she translates into her very own, unmistakable “Wax & Stripes Philosophy”. Her distinctive style is not only the union between waxed textiles, Fifties chic, men’s shirt fabric and an impeccable European cut: the designer always looks to the future and to the possible historical and cultural combinations, for a transversal and groundbreaking creativity which poses no limits to cultural, social and fabric mixes. All this is being supported by the necessity to project a new idea of multiculturalism, of which Stella is a real-life example. The exploration and the protection of Stella Jean’s origins are reflected in the project ITC Ethical Fashion Initiative. The designer is collaborating with the International Trade Centre, a joint agency of the World Trade Organization and the United Nations: the Ethical Fashion Initiative is about creating beautiful luxury handwork produced 100% ethically by disadvantaged communities in Africa. This ITC programme generates work by creating an infrastructure where the fashion luxury business can develop and produce products. It is about a proper, accountable business which is sustainable and environmentally sound, promoting sustainable economic development and opportunities in countries that do not need our charity.
