Jerry Lorenzo revisits the Civil Rights era, crafting coats and bombers that serve as a statement.

Fear of God reveals the Civil Collection with a clarity that mirrors Jerry Lorenzo’s signature style. The designer stays close to the label’s signature hallmarks—long, tailored lines, muted shades, and fabrics that carry weight without noise—yet threads them with a fresh sense of purpose. Each piece signals refined ease, an idea sharpened by the accompanying short film CIVIL, a “visual poem” directed by Mike Carson.
Lorenzo looks back to the Civil Rights Movement, when clothing often served both labor and protest. Workers finished a shift, kept their coats on, and stepped straight into marches; elegance and resilience shared the same silhouette. The new collection remembers that dual task. A wool topcoat hangs with exacting drape, roomy trousers sit high and precise, and lightweight bombers recall vintage varsity styles—garments built to stand their ground while moving freely through a city street.



CIVIL captures this conviction wordlessly. Carson shoots slow pans of models in motion—walking, waiting, gathering—each frame underscoring how posture turns fabric into statement. Minimal narration leaves space for viewers to read gesture and gaze, echoing an era when presence itself spoke louder than slogans.
Together, collection and film present a study in dignified restraint. Fear of God submits no grand manifesto; instead, it reminds us that style can whisper and still carry force. In that steady tone, the Civil Collection places the past in conversation with now, and clothes become a quiet vote for unity and self-possession.
