Kerby Jean-Raymond Covers Metal Magazine No. 45 Lensed by Shikeith AOC Fashion

Metal Magazine No. 45 moves from its focus on Pyer Moss Creative Director Kerby Jean-Raymond’s Fall 2021 couture collection, to the designer himself. Romina Herrera Malatesta [IG] — who also styled the couture shoot — styles Jean-Raymond, learning that they share an interest in James Baldwin.

The Brooklyn creative whiz is reading ‘The Price of the Ticket’, a collection of Baldwin’s writings published in 1985. A fav quote of the stylist is: ““It goes without saying, I believe, that if we understood ourselves better, we would damage ourselves less.”

Interdisciplinary artist and filmmaker Shikeith [IG] photographs the designer and push-the-envelope-intellectual for Metal Magazine.

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.
