PRIDE
From having a live gospel choir blending music and political message; a sermon by writer Casey Gerald featuring the topics of enslavement; to casting only POC models in his shows, Kerby Jean-Raymond has always built Pyer Moss around black history and has continuously explored what it means to be black in America. Last year, Jean-Raymond became the first black designer to officially show on the Paris Couture Week schedule, and it was truly Black Camp at its finest. Honouring inventions by blacks, the collection was presented at the Westchester County mansion of Madame C.J. Walker, the first female African-American self-made millionaire.
With that said, there’s no denying that fashion’s journey to diversity has been a long and winding road, but credits must be given to brands that are consciously confronting the issue. For his final show as the President and Chief Creative Officer at Burberry, Christopher Bailey dedicated the Autumn/Winter 2018 collection to the LGBTQ+ community. “There has never been a more important time to say that in our diversity lies our strength and our creativity,” said Bailey in a statement. Aside from looks that are emblazoned in its iconic checks in rainbow hues, the fashion house also donated to three charities that serve the community—the Albert Kennedy Trust, the Trevor Project and ILGA.
