VOGUE – Yves Mathieu Is the Activist-Model Who Turned Heads at Pyer Moss

Although models don't literally use their voices when theyÕre walking down the runway, Mathieu emphasized how much the entire Pyer Moss production was designed to make a deafeningly loud statement. ÒWith the music and the words that were being sung and just the whole air in that room, it was just so loud,Ó he says. ÒAnd I think itÕs very rare at times in fashion, and also the media in general, for people of color to be represented in the right way. ThereÕs always just a lack of proper representation of who we are and what we're capable of and what we can do.Ó But with designers like Pyer Moss's Kerby Jean-Raymond and models like Mathieu leading the charge, it won't be the case for much longer.
