Kirby Jean-Raymond will become the first Black American designer to present his label Pyer Moss as a guest member at Paris Haute Couture Week in July 2021. The historic first comes amid ongoing conversations about racial prejudice and a call for diversity within the fashion industry.
The brand founded in 2013, has made a name through storytelling, such Jean-Raymond’s 2018 project “American, Also,” a three-part retelling of the American story, which included the history of Black cowboys shown at New York Fashion Week. It also earned him famous clients, such as US Vice President Kamala Harris during the 2021 inauguration events, Angela Davis on the September 2020 cover of Vanity Fair, Zendaya for the September 2020 cover of InStyle magazine and Colin Kaepernick and Nessa at the 2019 Met Gala.
