Under Jerry Lorenzo’s visionary leadership, Fear of God has consistently examined the intriguing crossroads of apparel, culture, and personal expression. This ideology attains a fresh pinnacle with the debut of the “Civil Collection,” a line characterized by its elegant shapes and effortless sophistication, alongside CIVIL: a visual narrative written by filmmaker Mike Carson. This profound project delves into an era where the importance of clothing extended beyond mere aesthetics, giving birth to timeless style rooted in silent conviction.

The “Civil Collection” is deeply influenced by the honor, strength, and understated beauty that were hallmarks of the American populace during the Civil Rights Era. It symbolizes a time when practical wardrobes had a double role—from work to demonstrations, from sitting quietly to marching boldly—requiring clothing that was not just useful but also carried a strong, silent message. The movie “CIVIL” delves into this intentional self-expression and the powerful effect of unwavering conviction, which speaks volumes without uttering a word.

Jerry Lorenzo muses that when he recalls that period, he considers the immense thought required for everyday decisions. He explains that clothing should instill a sense of dignity, symbolize the struggle for humanity, and the essence derived from this was breathtakingly beautiful due to its origin from deep self-love, the pursuit of self-expression, and unwavering faith in equality. This profound sentiment is evident in the collection’s items, which are not only authentic and timeless but also carefully crafted with thoughtful consideration, exuding a quiet sense of confidence, ultimately providing dignity to those who wear them.

Director Mike Carson shared his vision for the movie, stating, “I aimed to capture that sense of presence and personal strength in motion. The film focuses on the unspoken aspects: when you enter a room, your demeanor and bearing can convey more than words ever could. There’s potency in a stride. There’s potency in one’s stance. There’s potency in self-presentation. There’s potency in unity.

Via “Civil Collection” and its accompanying visual poem, Fear of God doesn’t simply offer clothing; it offers a profound contemplation on self-expression, the silent power found in unity, and the lasting allure of thoughtful fashion. This collection invites introspection, as it reimagines glimpses from the past through modern eyes to commemorate genuine and enduring sophistication.
