Last week, Jerry Lorenzo put on Fear of God’s first ever runway show at the Hollywood Bowl, featuring a performance from London’s own Sampha
in 2016, speaking on the relationship between his faith and his brand. “It was intertwined with everything we did … I was not always a God-fearing man … I came to LA and tried to find my own footing, and in doing so started throwing parties. I used my middle name – Jerry Lorenzo – because I didn’t want to tarnish the Manuel name.”
So why did it take him ten years to stage a runway show? Backstage, he was matter-of-fact: “I’ve never believed in just speaking … I really feel like I finally had something to say,” he said. “When I grew up, my dad told me stories of his grandma picking cotton,” he went on. “Now I have the luxury that my staff brings me fabric books, and I get to pick and choose the cotton. So there’s freedom, and there’s a responsibility that comes from a lot of pain. But more than pain, it comes from love.
