He shares with us how he was told by his now former manager he could never and would never become a designer in front of customers and colleagues. But took it in stride decided to dream big and not go home! He also talks about his challenges of being a young black man in a city that is predominantly white making a name for him self in fashion industry.
Peter Jean-Marie started modeling at the age 16 landing his first gig with Gap. From there moved on to designing a range of blazers and marketing via social media. In 2016, he won a competition at the Miami International Mall by designing a dress made out of chocolate .
In 2018 he launched a "Dream Big" campaign to manage his own business. His Dream Big campaign launched on November 2018 at Coastland Center with a pop-up store selling luxury, hand-made neckties from imported fabrics. After the weekend, Jean-Marie commented "**In the first two days, I autographed and gave away 100 signed boxes to my first 100 customers, made over $2,000 in sales, and completely sold out of one collection. This is a great beginning. His future plans include fashion ranges for men and women.
