Fashion as intercultural value sharing: Stella Jean at TEDxMilanoWomen

Stylist, Stella was born into and grew up in a multicultural environment that imbued her with a passion for fashion, art and beauty. A young model for Egon Von Furstenberg, she soon became an internationally acclaimed fashion designer, and in 2012 her daring and brilliant collection was paraded at the Rotonda della Besana during Milan Fashion Week. After presenting her first men's collection at Pitti in June 2013, Giorgio Armani chose her to show off her spring/summer 2014 collection at the Armani Teatro during the last Milan women's fashion show. This consolidated her role as a representative of the "new wave" of Italian creativity, thanks to the mixture of styles harking back to her roots, while constantly keeping an eye on the future and maintaining a cross-cutting and innovative creativity.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
