A Haitian-born fashion designer and contestant on Project Runway’s season 19 and season 20 (All Stars), Prajjé O. Jean-Baptiste operates his fashion house out of Philadelphia. Jean-Baptiste’s work demonstrates a commitment to tradition and savoir-faire by weaving simplicity and understated elegance with edgier, modern designs. When discussing Philly, Jean-Baptiste says, “There’s no box out here. It’s freedom.” The Prajjé Oscar label creates designs for women that are luxurious, modern and affordable (available online only).
