Relief for Haiti continues during this year’s Fashion Week as PrAsperity Project teamed up with Joonbug.com and STYLE360. LolaJames Jewelry is also lending a hand to launch the Haiti Relief bracelet. The bracelets are meant to symbolize the dedication of the fashion industry to the victims of the aftermath of the Haiti earthquake.
The Power of the Bracelet
The Haiti Relief bracelet is made of tiger eye and crystal. As the bracelet stands for the fashion industry’s dedication to helping the victims, the materials that make it represent strength and healing. Thirty percent of proceeds will go towards restoring homes, schools, hospitals, and jobs in the country torn apart by disaster.
During Joonbug.com’s STYLE360 Kick-Off Party, the bracelets were gifted to celebrities, musicians, and fashion industry insiders. The list includes stars like rapper Fabolous, singer Shontelle, Ugly Betty star Mark Indelicato, Roxy Olin from The City, and The Real Housewives of New York City star and jewelry designer Kelly Killoren Bensimon, Nole Marin, fashion designer, and Roberta Myers, editor-in-chief of ELLE Magazine.
PrAsperity Project
PrAsperity Project was created by the Grammy award-winning Pras Michael, fomer meber of the rap group The Fugees. When Pras decided to give up his life of celebrity in order to understand the plight of homelessness in Los Angeles, he created this non-profit organization to end such struggles.
Creating awareness of the issues leading to poverty has been Since PrAsperity Project’s main focus, but since the earthquake’s effect on Pras’s home country, the organization is driving towards another goal and that is to help the people of Haiti.
