When British actor Idris Elba and his wife, model Sabrina Dowre Elba, hosted conversations on racial injustice last year, their friend, designer Christian Louboutin, was compelled to find ways to help. He reached out to the couple and the result is a capsule collection of men’s and women’s footwear as well as a tote, whose entire proceeds will be donated to five non-profit organizations: Be Rose, Purposeful, Immediate Theatre, Gathering for Justice, and the Somali Hope Foundation.

Titled “Walk A Mile in My Shoes,” the footwear and bag capsule is detailed with the tagline. Half of the items are offered in black while the over half feature a print inspired by birds of paradise blooms, a favorite of Sabrina Elba. Native to South Africa, the flowers are also referred to as Mandela’s Gold and are viewed as a symbol for empathy, hope and freedom.

Christian Louboutin and the Elbas “Walk A Mile In My Shoes” collaboration is now available on christianlouboutin.com.

Scathing 5,400-word report via The Cut's Tahirah H Scathing 5,400-word report via The Cut's Tahirah Hairston on Kerby Jean-Raymond whose label Pyer Moss appears to no longer be operational. 

Check out an excerpt below. 

Ten years in, Jean-Raymond’s star has only risen. He hangs out with celebrities (Tracee Ellis Ross, Brent Faiyaz), made a cameo on Insecure, and drives flashy cars (a McLaren 720S, an Aston Martin Superleggera, a Porsche GT3 RS). Meanwhile, his brand is nearly nonexistent.

There is no Pyer Moss boutique. The clothing celebrated on the runway was mostly not available to anybody who didn’t have a celebrity stylist to pull it for them, and company insiders complained that quality control was so uneven that at times what was produced was too flawed to be sold. Jean-Raymond sometimes missed deadlines, didn’t always pay bills, started other projects, and alienated allies. He referred to Pyer Moss as an “art project” and seemed reluctant to make practical choices. Among the fashion insiders who had cheered his rise, there has been a growing feeling that he has wasted an opportunity to build something important.

The last straw for many of his early supporters was his couture show in July 2021. Titled “WAT U IZ,” and put on in the U.S. during Paris Couture Week, it was a tribute to the various innovations that Black people have been responsible for, often without credit. The models came down the runway decked out in a jar of peanut butter and a traffic light. A lot of it wasn’t really clothing, much less couture. Even if the professional critics and other members of the fashion press seemed hesitant to publicly express their disappointment, they whispered among each other that he’d lost the plot of his brand.
