Here at BDMOTP we love things that are new and diverse. Anything a little bit off-the-beaten-path or unique, sign us up. That’s one of the reasons, among others, we absolutely loved the Milan Uomo: Stella Jean collection. Stella Jean is an Italo-Haitian designer who really puts her roots into the design of her clothes. We can feel the bold Haitian colors combined with the impeccable Italian tailoring, and it makes for a truly awe-inspiring product that’s a lot of fun to wear and to look at.

Additonally, Stella Jean is part of the Ethical Fashion Initiative, which enables artisans living in rural communities to participate in the world of fashion. In fact, Stella Jean actually sources some of her fabrics and jewelry items directly from artisans in Haiti, which makes the items truly original.

The SS16 collection was filled with fun, bright colors, patterns of stripes and fruits plastered over suits, overcoats and short suits. Mixing and matching this collection is a fashionista’s dream. The looks are loud,  but in a good way. This is a collection for men who want to stand out in a worldly, sophisticated, brilliant manner.
