After a three-year hiatus, Stella Jean's Milan Fashion Week comeback wasn't just a show—it was a powerful call to action. Collaborating with Bhutanese artisans, Jean's collection highlighted the need to preserve traditional crafts, especially as Italian artistry faces extinction. She urged lawmakers to offer tax breaks for artisan work, just like artworks, to make these pieces accessible while fairly compensating creators. With handwoven jackets, nettle fiber skirts, and silk dresses, the runway honored artisans, not celebrities, emphasizing fashion's blend of art and community. Jean also paid tribute to Giorgio Armani, reinforcing her message: the future of fashion relies on protecting its roots and the hands that create it.
