While many designers in the fashion industry are jumping on trends these days, Fear of God’s founder Jerry Lorenzo<\/strong> is focused on reviving both forgotten and unexpected silhouettes. This week’s edition of What’s In Their Wardrobe?<\/em> further explains the exploding demand for the Fear of God brand while exploring the styles that Jerry is gravitating towards himself.<\/p>\n With obvious inspiration from sports culture, Jerry Lorenzo uses his brand as a device to tell authentic stories within each collection that actually resonate with consumers. Whether that buyer is inspired by the product’s connection to sports, music, or their own personal style, Jerry has tactically defined who his brand speaks to and why someone can justify spending the extra cash to get something that has meaning beyond exclusivity.<\/p>\n For many designers, they are merely designing for trends and what appeals to the consumer. Jerry Lorenzo is designing what’s actually in his wardrobe. If you’ve seen any of his five collections and his sixth on the way, that’s pretty much Jerry’s style in a nutshell. Early on we saw heavy inspiration from the ’90s grunge era, while a military theme and sports DNA vibe were soon to follow — all of which have become a mainstay in the brand’s offering thus far.<\/p>\n Ten years ago, no one would’ve even considered sweats and sportswear being incorporated into a high-end menswear line. And now sweats are not only a heavy accent to the looks of Fear of God and Essentials’ fall 2018 collections, but they’re being interpreted as elegant staples throughout the industry and youth styling alike. As of late, Jerry Lorenzo, who put the grungy distressed denim with the zippered inseams on the map has taken a new route. His latest apparel collection that featured none other than Jared Leto reinterprets workwear essentials with a sportswear twist. The ruggedness of each piece is left intact, but it’s the simple nuances like the tearaway applications, the tailored proportions, and the unconventional pairings that give these consumer goods a newfound appeal.<\/p>\n These past few months when news first broke of what Lorenzo’s first signature shoe with Nike would look like, it seems as if the American luxury designer has figured out a way to make sweats seem more elegant than he already had done in the past. The tearaway pants in his collection that look like Carhartt work pants certainly convey that tone, as well as his tapered sweats with the concealed zipper on the inseam. Even with his Essentials collection, it appears that the standard sweatpants with elastic cuffs at the ankle seems like they can be made for pair with luxury essentials too, so long as the familiar exaggerated proportions are factored into the look.<\/p>\nEssentially, Sweats Can be Luxurious<\/h3>\n
