Pyer Moss Lends a Hand

May 02, 2022

Pyer Moss, the brainchild brand of designer Kerby Jean-Raymond, is well-known for its boundary-pushing creativity within the fashion vanguard. Last year, their Fall couture show blew us away with its larger-than-life interpretation of high-fashion and theatrical retelling of the history of Black inventors in America. Now, the brand returns with a full-force campaign that takes the amplified motifs they are recognized and loved for, and translates them into a collection of stunning handbags and footwear.

Words simply don’t do justice to the playful nature of the latest drop. With handbags illustrating the effect of being hugged, Jean-Raymond has taken his trademark inventiveness and formatted it masterfully in a drop ready to be consumed by an even wider audience. The release is accompanied by an enthralling campaign shot by photographer Shikeith and styled by Dara Allen. The campaign demonstrates a mastery of fashion image in typical Pyer Moss form, making it nearly impossible to pry our eyes from the stunning new pieces.
