POSTPONED: Not even Mother Nature can stop Kerby Jean-Raymond from making history with his first Pyer Moss couture collection livestreaming as part of Paris Couture Week.
But the show will go on — Saturday — at the historic 1918 estate of Madam C.J. Walker, hair care magnate, activist, entrepreneur, and the first Black female millionaire in the U.S. “I love Kerby and I was dying to see this estate,” said Tracee Ellis Ross, wearing a Pyer Moss top and pants. “Madam C.J. Walker was one of my icons in my journey to starting my hair care line Pattern. Figuring out how to merge these things is how we bring the legacy forward,” she said of Jean-Raymond’s ability to create teaching moments by mixing past and present.
At one point, the show came close to starting. Elaine Brown, the last surviving leadership member of the Black Panthers, took to the runway with an umbrella fella. The legendary activist spoke passionately about racial justice, shared poetry and song. “The liberation of Black people has been flickering,” she told the crowd. “We need to get back on the freedom train.”
