The Designing Woman
Stella Jean
The stunning Stella Jean is one of Milan’s rising stars. In 2011, she won Vogue Italia's talent competition, “Who’s on Next,” and now counts designer Armani and Vogue UK editor Suzy Menkes as fans. Her designs are a true reflection of her and embody ladylike silhouettes. Her prints pay tribute to her mother’s homeland of Haiti, as well as West Africa. (Photo via Gareth Cattermole/Getty)
