ASSOCIATION

Prajje Jr. Jean Baptiste, one of Boston most promising designers, was born in Haiti and came to the US in his teens. He studied Art & Design at Massachusetts College of Art and Design, graduating with a degree in Fashion Design.

​

In 2003 Prajje opened his own fashion company, Prajje 1983, and was immediately recognized for his luxurious and exotic styles. Prajje is a leading exemplar of ethnic-inspired fashion. He is best known, however, for his glamorous evening dresses, at once romantic, dramatic, and feminine. Prajje is a brilliant colorist. Nothing in his opinion, contributes more to a womans beauty than clear, brilliant color. But it is Prajjes understanding of the female form, his exquisite cut, and his subtle use of texture and body-worshipping fabrics that magnify the beauty of women wearing his designs, and make them the cynosure of all eyes.

​

Prajje has dressed some of the most beautiful and powerful women in America, whether socialites, celebrities or CEOs. His clientele includes Lara Spencer, GMA; Sara Underwood, Fox 25 anchor; model Maya Gaile Haile, spouse of celebrity chef Marcus Samuelsson; Manouschka Guerrier, private chef of Beverly Hills; Aminat Seun, Americas Next Top Model; Saran Kaban Jones, Founder of FACE Africa; and last but not least, singer and record publisher Wyclef Jean.

​

To date Prajje 1983 has shown to an international runway, and has been featured in some of the most prestigious publications and TV programs, such as ELLE Magazine, the Boston Globe, the Boston Herald, Good Morning America and All on the line.  Prajje 1983 is growing into a remarkable brand. Yet Prajje Jr. Jean-Baptiste believes that his proudest moments are still ahead of him and sees each day as a learning experience.
