I first discovered designer and queen of clashing prints, Stella Jean, back in 2013 on Pinterest. I fell in love with her whimsical style, tribal patterns and charming silhouettes. Half-Haitian, half-Italian model turned fashion designer, Jean's new Spring Summer 2014 collection is the perfect ray of sunshine, spreading happiness to all who glance upon her designs. Playful and quirky, Jean uses her multicultural background to create the perfect balance of Italian haute couture craftsmanship, ethnic shapes and prints and a timeless elegance.
