Stella Jean is a Haitian-Italian clothes designer who is trying to change the Italian fashion industry by working with African designers. She is showing her designs during Milan Fashion Week, a seasonal event in Italy’s northern culture center of Milan. The current show lasts until March 4. Jean is the only Black member of the Italian National Fashion Chamber, a non-profit group that supports Italian fashion. She credits the group with “a lot of goodwill” in cooperating with five young designers. The effort included financing and business partnerships with Italian suppliers. Jean’s work became popular after Giorgio Armani invited her to a fashion show in 2014.
