Jessica Jai: The Next Chapter
Fundraiser: Anna O' Brien’s Event – September 12, 6–9 PM
Goal: $25,000
Purpose:
This campaign will support Jessica Jai and her team of models and production staff to attend Los Angeles Fashion Week in October 2025 and New York Fashion Week in February 2026. Your support will help cover travel, accommodations, production costs, and show fees—giving Jessica the chance to showcase her designs on a major fashion stage.
Why This Matters:
Jessica Jai is a talented local designer whose creativity and vision deserve to be seen beyond Hawaiʻi. This is an extraordinary opportunity for a local girl to bring her designs to the mainland and gain invaluable experience, mentorship, and exposure in the fashion industry. Attending these prestigious events will allow her to connect with industry leaders, expand her portfolio, and inspire other young creatives back home.
Proven Impact of Past Participants:
Previous Hawaiʻi designers and talent who have showcased at mainland fashion weeks have gone on to:
Launch successful clothing lines and boutiques
Collaborate with top designers and brands
Receive media coverage in major fashion outlets
Inspire local youth to pursue creative careers
Your contribution helps make Jessica’s dream a reality and continues the legacy of Hawaiʻi creatives making their mark on the global stage.
