Reverlavie - I Survived Jermas 37 Hour Strawberry Magic Stream T-Shirt

Stella Jean has plenty on her plate. At the end of our interview, she casually mentions that she’s heading on a trip as a UN Goodwill Ambassador, though she can’t disclose the location. It’s not her first trip with the United Nations—she’s traveled to Uzbekistan, Benin, Burkina Faso, and other countries to meet female artisans. Her fall 2021 collection featured embroidery work by Kyrgyz women, whom she met through a UN initiative. “It’s about working with them, living with them, and letting them decide what they want to give you,” she explains.

This is not directly germane to the topic at hand—we are meeting to discuss her collaboration with Desigual, which is available to shop today—but it does underscore Jean’s appreciation of culture and craft, which appears in all facets of her work. The Haitian-Italian designer doesn’t shy away from talking about important subjects, but she leads with joy in her clothing. She released her most recent collection in July 2021, I Survived Jermas 37 Hour Strawberry Magic Stream T-Shirt, for the resort 2022 season, and so this Desigual collaboration is an exciting return for fans of her bright garments.
