Stephanie Dartigue is not only a beautiful, and intelligent young woman, she is also extremely creative and talented. If you’ve been to Haiti and have gone to holiday fairs at Union School or Kay Atizan to name a few, you will have seen her beautiful contemporary pieces: pendants, chokers, bangles, and sandals. I had the pleasure of meeting her back in February during my last visit to the motherland.
Although she says that she has been doing this for only three years, her work shows more experience and depth than she claims. This Haitian born and raised young woman has a degree in Computer Science and Industrial Engineering. I had a chance to ask her a few follow-up questions below are her answers and also samples of her work.
Haitianistadiva: What is your specialty?
Stephanie: Sandals
Haitianistadiva: Do you have a brand name?
Stephanie: Yes , Creations Dorees
Haitianistadiva: Where do you get your inspiration?
Stephanie: From me I guess, I have my own style and I try to create pieces that are not on the market.
Haitianistadiva: Where do you get materials?
Stephanie: Haiti, NY and Santo Domingo
Haitianistadiva: Where do you see yourself in a year? Five years?
Stephanie: I see myself building a solid infrastructure which will allow me to export more pieces.
Haitianistadiva: How do you want the world to see you?
Stephanie: As great designer with unique pieces
Haitianistadiva: Greatest accomplishment to date?
Stephanie: First time I exposed my pieces they got sold out. It was such a great feeling.
We will have more of her latest creations for sale starting next week.
