Fusha began with the innovative fashion ideas of a hip-hop mogul's beautiful wife. Maria Claudinette Pierre-Jean, wife of Wyclef Jean, was named after the Haitian beauty queen, Claudinette Fushard. Appropriately, the fashion collection she designs, Fusha, epitomizes the style, grace and fashion sense of this legendary woman. Launched in 2001, the Fusha collection offers a new category for the fashion industry: French Caribbean Couture. Fusha designs combine 18th century fashions and aristocratic flamboyance from that period with a Caribbean aesthetic and modern sensibility. Pierre-Jean has established a strong following among people who hope to make statements with their clothing. Her celebrity clientele includes Mary J. Blige, Kelly Price, Whitney Houston and Ja Rule. She recently dressed her husband and his band for a performance at the European MTV Music Awards. As a result, In Style Magazine dubbed Wyclef one of entertainment's top ten best-dressed men.
