Only five years removed from launching his industry shifting brand, Pyer Moss<\/strong>, Kerby Jean-Raymond is one of the most touted new designers in fashion. Presently under the all-seeing eye of the CFDA as one of ten\u00a0finalists for its 2018 fashion fund award for emerging talent, Jean-Raymond’s brand has been celebrated for its focused and empowering design language that cements its foundation in the stories that shape African-American heritage.<\/p>\n Pyer moves and subsequently thrives thanks both to Jean-Raymond’s genius and his brand’s adoring thesis. From hosting its latest New York Fashion Week show in Weeksville, one of the first free African-American communities post-slavery, in 1838, to producing garments that speak to black culture and the path its taken since slavery was abolished to now, Pyer Moss encapsulates the black experience far beyond just Kerby’s personal one.<\/p>\n
