The style of Stella Jean reflects and evokes her métissage and Creole heritage, blending old-continent cultures with the verve of the new world and marrying the opposites in a femininity well aware of its precious uniqueness. Through the lines of Italian haute couture craftsmanship beats a sensual elegance, proud and aware but never ostentatious.
In 2013 Stella Jean travelled to Burkina Faso to meet with weaving artisans as a development component of her SS14 womenswear collection, beginning an official partnership with the Ethical Fashion Initiative — a program of the International Trade Centre, a joint agency of the United Nation and World Trade Organization. As a global net- work to support marginalized craftspeople in rural and remote areas, this partnership reinforced Stella Jean’s own dedication to the creation of fashion that embraces far- ung creativity and fosters a responsible, and accountable, fashion industry.
