If the line wrapped around the block outside Kings Theatre in the designer’s home neighborhood of Flatbush, Brooklyn, was any indication, Kerby Jean-Raymond’s Pyer Moss show was the hottest ticket at Fashion Week. Where the newly CFDA-appointed board member and Reebok artistic director goes, the industry follows.

His latest collection, “American, Also; Lesson 3,” named “Sister,” continued his thesis of bringing forward erased stories of black people’s contributions to popular American culture. This installment paid homage to Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the black woman credited with inventing rock ’n’ roll.

The models – some of whom were cast through Instagram – made their way down the runway against the backdrop of the glorious Pyer Moss Tabernacle Drip Choir Drenched in the Blood. The Jean-Raymond signatures were in full effect: crisp pleats and tailored suiting. Artwork by recently exonerated artist Richard Phillips, wrongfully imprisoned for 46 years, adorned some of the pieces. A new collection with Reebok also debuted, with Caleb McLaughlin of “Stranger Things” among the models showcasing the line.

While uniquely beautiful, the clothes were not necessarily the point. The oeuvre of Jean-Raymond is already the stuff of folklore. His overall vision? It’s the way of the future for fashion and beyond.
