Fear of God presents first ever fashion show at the Hollywood Bowl in LA
American designer Jerry Lorenzo presented his first ever catwalk show for his Fear of God brand at the Hollywood Bowl amphitheatre in his native Los Angeles on Wednesday evening, 19 April.
The show, featuring Fear of God’s AW23 collection, was watched by a large crowd including A-list fans such as Kanya “Ye” West, in what was a fitting spectacle for the luxury streetwear label’s 10th anniversary.
Models strutted their stuff in tailored overcoats, broad shouldered blazers, leather wrap detailing and elegant tops in what was a real indication of Lorenzo’s plan to elevate the brand still further – sharp yet soft with it.
“When I grew up, my dad told me stories of his grandma picking cotton," he told reporters backstage. "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.”
Adding to the atmosphere, the show included performances from Pusha T and Sampha, along with a spectacular firework display.
