"Ever since a young boy, fashion was Prajje Jean-Baptiste’s passion. Born in Port au Prince, Haiti, Prajje came to the USA in his teens. While a student at North Cambridge Catholic High, Prajje took every opportunity to learn about design and fashion, attending Saturday Studios and Extreme Weeks fashion sessions at Mass College of Art. In 2002, he was awarded a Summer Search scholarship for the Pre College Program in fashion at the Rhode Island School of Design."

"Local fashion designer Prajje Jean-Baptiste had a dream: He wanted to produce an event that would show Bostonians that New York City isn’t the only place to find hot fashion. Jean-Baptiste brought that dream to life last Friday in the final chapter of Boston Fashion Week, with a show featuring designs from nine of the Hub’s best-kept fashion secrets — himself included."

"Since he was young, his grandmother's style has inspired him. The pencil skirt and Chanel-like jacket. Stiletto heels. A hat, long gloves, clutch purse. And pearls "the size of mangoes," said Prajje Jean-Baptiste, laughing. She was just going down the street to church in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. No matter."
