To introduce Fear of God’s new “Civil Collection”, Jerry Lorenzo worked with director Mike Carson on CIVIL, a film that moves like a quiet statement. It pulls from a time when dressing held meaning, when clothes had to do more than just cover the body and had to carry purpose.

The collection takes inspiration from the Civil Rights Movement, a period when clothing needed to work as hard as the people wearing it. Garments had to hold up through long days, from protests to marches, yet still carry an air of quiet strength. Every choice in how someone dressed was deliberate, a reflection of their resolve.

CIVIL shows this without words. The film focuses on posture, movement, the way people occupy space. There’s power in a steady walk, in standing tall, in the way fabric falls on a frame. As Jerry Lorenzo explains, those clothes had to mirror the fight for dignity, beauty born from self-respect, from belief in something greater.

Mike Carson’s direction lets the silence speak. The film isn’t about grand gestures but the weight of presence. When people move together, unified, that’s where change lives.
