Just in, Pyer Moss designer Kerby Jean-Raymond and French luxury goods company Kering just announced the launch of “Your Friends in New York”, a new platform where creatives in fashion, music, and art come together to incubate and empower their talents as the next generation of innovators.

If you are familiar with Pyer Moss and Kerby Jean-Raymond, the brand’s signature is ‘Your Friends in New York” which can be seen through both Pyer Moss’s and Kerby’s instagram accounts. Set to go public back in March, the announcement of the “Your Friends in New York” initiative was placed on hold as the world was hit with COVOD-19. However, Kerby quickly launched into action by collecting over $78,000 for small, independent businesses affected by the pandemic along with medical equipment for healthcare professionals. Ultimately, Kerby set the tone for the program and continued to uphold the ideals “community” and “innovation” of which Pyer Moss was built on.

Essentially, “You Friends in New York” (YFINY) will serve as a host for the expansion of emerging talents in fashion, music, art, philanthropy and wellness. The platform will have many sectors including an events and experience division, an incubator inspired initiative, philanthropic programs, and a merchandise label.

In a public statement, Kerby Jean-Raymond expresses, “It is important to me to create and work on ventures that are future forward, involve the community at large and that will continue to help others grow in the fashion and art space.“

Chairman and CEO of Kering François-Henri Pinault welcomes the YFINY concept, “When I met Kerby in 2019, I was impressed by his unique perspective of creativity, innovation, business and social issues. What struck me immediately was his willingness to invent a new, singular model, freeing himself from the usual constraints of the fashion system. It was only natural for Kering to support this project that seeks to empower new artistic talents, to encourage the diversity of creativity and to give a voice to the younger generation of innovators.“

You can expect to hear more about “Your Friends in New York” programs in the coming months, but you can follow the @yourfriendsinnewyork on Instagram from updates!

Boutique Spotlight: La Candiee / LaCandie.com Offers Thrift, Consignment, and Original Pieces for the Fashion Forward

Posted by The Fashion Bomb Staff
Posted on

Happy Thursday, Bombers and Bombshells! Today we wanted to introduce you to an LA based boutique you should know: LA Candiee (Los Angeles Candy).

The boutique was founded 4 years ago by Kerriann, a black single mom who is an artist and a librarian. She tells us, “I drove cross country from NY to LA about 10 years ago and never looked back. This store is a love letter to LA, my chosen city. “


She continues, “The company began as a thrift/consignment shop with a lot of its product coming from some of the best vintage/thrift shops in LA. It quickly grew into a boutique that also offers new and original design pieces by myself or from collaborations with local artists. “


Every item in the catalog falls into one of three categories. 

PL: Pre loved are thrift-ed classic and vintage pieces from the best vintage shops in LA.  

FC: Future classics new pieces that will be closet favorites and future vintage pieces. 

OD: Original Design are new pieces created using original artwork by Kerriann or community artists.  

Kerriann says, “I truly believe that good’ fashion can make you simply feel good, even in a simple graphic tee. I also believe that good fashion can be affordable.”

She offers, “Our tagline ‘you should be wearing art’ is a call to action. When someone asks me why not sell plain black cell phone cases instead of ones designed by local artists. My answer is if you just wanted a mass produced item go to a big box seller. We sell art. Every piece is hand selected by me. My main criteria for selection and creation is that it should make you smile when you look at it. “

She says, “Our next big venture are our sunglass line that will be debuting in the next couple of months. “lacandie sunnies” has been a labor of love and has been such a challenge, Living and driving in LA, I quickly realized the importance of a good pair of shades. Our glasses are all polarized and have UV 400 protection. They are the meeting of style and function. “

In conclusion, Kerriann says, “I get inspiration in some unconventional places. I just see beauty everywhere and believe it’s up to us to see the beauty in everyday things. “
