Jerry Lorenzo Manuel Jr. (born October 5, 1977) is an American fashion designer. He is the founder of the American streetwear label Fear of God.[2] He is also the son of former MLB player, coach, and manager Jerry Manuel.
Lorenzo founded Fear of God in 2011,[3] despite his lack of fashion training and relative unfamiliarity in the world of streetwear.[4][5] Notably, Lorenzo designed and created five custom looks for Justin Bieber to wear on stage during his Purpose World Tour, and also helped in the design process for the tour’s merchandise.[6][7]
