Kerby Jean-Raymond is the first Black American designer to be invited to participate in a Paris Haute Couture season.

The Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture Collections has officially announced that American fashion brand <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/emerging-fashion-brands-2020-fashion-telfar-christopher-john-rogers-pyer-moss" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pyer Moss</a> will present its first haute couture collection during the Fall/Winter 2021 Haute Couture season. As a result, Creative Director <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/rising-designers-fashion-week-activists-outsiders-2019" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kerby-Jean Raymond</a> is the first Black American designer invited to show at <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/paris-haute-couture-fashion-week-2021-highlights" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week</a>. The collection will debut alongside the other haute couture shows in July, the dates and details of which will be made available early next month.
While the brand has been absent from runways since the Spring/Summer 2020 season, last month, Jean-Raymond unveiled plans to return to New York Fashion Week with his <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/afterpay-img-nyfw-partnership-laquan-smith-see-now-buy-now-fashion-show-spring-summer-2022" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Spring/Summer 2022</a> collection. The collection is expected to launch the second week of September, but more precise dates will be announced closer to the event.

Much of Jean-Raymond's work focuses on social justice and commentary, specifically as it pertains to the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/24-black-owned-fashion-brands-to-shop-support" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Black American</a> experience. His work has focused on police brutality as well as the appropriation of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/black-designers-fashion-history-virgil-abloh-telfar-clemens" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Black culture</a> in media, making the designer one of the most formidable voices in American fashion. His historic invitation to showcase his designs at Paris Couture Fashion Week steadily aligns with his own activism by furthering the inclusion of Black Americans in a historically exclusive space.
The designer's work is also expected to appear as a part of a two-part exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute, titled "In America: A Lexicon of Fashion" and "In America: An Anthology of Fashion." The concept will also serve as the theme for the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/everything-we-know-2021-met-gala-american-fashion-exhibit" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2021 Met Gala</a>.
