Jerry has built Fear of God slowly, guided by belief and a long view of what the work could become. What started with limited resources has grown into one of the most influential American fashion projects, shaped by restraint and a clear sense of purpose. Clothing functions as an extension of his values, with decisions driven by proportion, faith, and sincere intent.

Recognition like the CFDA Innovation Award reflects how widely that approach has landed without altering how he operates. Projects such as the Civil Collection, which draws from the integrity and quiet conviction of the Civil Rights Movement, and the Malcolm X Estate collaboration with Barriers Worldwide, which engaged history through direct support with proceeds benefiting the Shabazz Foundation, show how fashion can honor legacy without reducing it to surface reference.

With permanent Fear of God locations planned for New York and Los Angeles, Lorenzo continues building something designed to last.
