Pyer Moss by Kerby Jean-Raymond Covers Blanc Magazine Winter 2020

Pyer Moss was founded in 2013 by Haitian-American, New York-born fashion designer Kerby Jean-Raymond, who describes his brand as an “art project” or “a timely social experiment” at times. Pyer Moss aims to use its voice and platform to challenge social narratives and evoke dialogue. The Pyer Moss collections are produced in New York City, Italy and Portugal.

In September 2018, Pyer Moss invited Fashion Week to Weeksville, the historic black neighborhood in Brooklyn, Pyer Moss showed the second installment of the designer’s “American, Also” series, a three-part series of collections addressing the erasure of African American narratives in popular culture to critical acclaim. Vogue called the show “the best of the season”.

In mid-2019 Jean-Raymond became a “thought partner” as artistic director of Reebok Studies.
