Pyer Moss: powerful political message at NYFW

Pyer Moss is known for its nostalgic clothing. The brand published its Autumn/Winter 2018 collection in New York and presented a collection that reminds of the black cowboys of the 19th century. However, the most important statement is that the brand focuses on the (sad) fact that the fashion industry is still not as diverse as it should be. Therefore, Kerby Jean-Raymond, the founder of Pyer Moss, introduced the newest menswear collection with only black male models. It’s great to see talented (black) designers like Jean-Raymond or Virgil Abloh rising in the fashion industry and stand up for diversity. Yet, black people (and Asians) are still underrepresented in the industry and that needs to change. Hence, it is important that Jean-Raymond spreads such a powerful message!
