If Fashion Week Was Still a Thing, I Bet I'd Get Photographed in Fear of God's New Collection

Fear of God

Getting photographed at Fashion Week is the ultimate form of approval for style-obsessed fashion girls like me. Sadly, it hasn't happened. I've tried casual chic, in-your-face designer logos, and outlandish fashion trends, and nothing ever works. For years now, I've had guarded optimism that it would, but now I'm convinced that if our regular Fashion Month programming were still in session (thanks COVID), I would be a shoe-in for the style icon pages if I was dressed in Fear of God's new collection.

Black fashion designer Jerry Lorenzo hit it out of the park with his latest collection for Fear of God, entitled "7th Collection." Inspired by easy elegance, the collection became a reality after two years in the making. All made in Italy and from specific Italian mills, it's the first time that we see any suiting come out of Fear of God, and it is a welcome change. I really appreciate that each outfit can be worn in all seasons, dressed down or dressed up. I think Lorenzo completely nailed that easy elegance he was after with the low-shouldered, cropped-sleeve tailoring and outerwear pieces in this collection. The styling is so brilliantly minimalist, featuring no hardware, but fanny packs and backpacks against luxury leathers and wool blends.

It's really such a bummer than New York Fashion Week was only partially live — at 50 percent occupancy — and partially virtual this year, because this collection is so worthy of an in-person moment, undoubtedly, one that would guarantee heads to turn and cameras to snap. Truly such a vibe. Read through to view some of my favorite looks from the 7th Collection, and let's all live our Fashion Week outfit dreams through Fear of God.

It is can be really hard to do all black and achieve this level of chicness, one that looks like you barley tried but instead were born looking this good. I love the different textures that perfectly offset and complement each other.

I am beyond into a monochrome look, and this one definitely fits the bill. This tonal look can easily be worn layered or more stripped down to it's comfy foundation of sweats and a hoodie. The versatility here is really shining.

Something about this outfit makes me think of grabbing a coffee somewhere in Europe. Which I guess makes sense, being it was sourced and produced in Italy. The cashmere knit tied around the neck and oversize long blazer with easy trousers is for the chic European girl in all of us.

Let's talk about the tailoring in this collection — sharp but effortless on a new level. The trousers have just the right amount of room in the leg, and the wide pockets on the shirting create a strong presence.

I appreciate this outfit because it is so put together and gives off polished, this-has-always-been me feels.
