S6E5: Kerby Jean-Raymond
Kerby Jean-Raymond is the founder and CEO of the fashion label Pyer Moss.

Jean-Raymond embraces how digital media has changed the fashion business:
I think a lot of people see Instagram and social media and things like that as a nuisance or a passing fad. It’s the new telephone. And the new telephone is showing us how people think of us and what they think of a product. And we’re getting direct feedback. We don’t have to wait for a store to buy it, then wait for six months to get the sales report.
