Fear of God

Fear of God

Quick history

Fear of God was founded in 2013 in Los Angeles by designer Jerry Lorenzo as a label rooted in personal faith, music culture, and modern American style. Blending streetwear with luxury tailoring, the brand became known for oversized silhouettes, muted palettes, elongated proportions, and elevated basics. Fear of God gained rapid recognition through its connection to hip-hop, athletes, and artists, while maintaining a design language focused on restraint, reverence, and timelessness rather than trend cycles.

  • It reshaped modern menswear through relaxed tailoring and proportion play

Why it shows up at Diversity
