Jerry Lorenzo
Treasurer
Jerry Lorenzo Manuel is an American fashion designer and the founder of Fear of God, a brand known for its clean, refined style and attention to detail. He grew up moving across the U.S. as his father played professional baseball, which gave him a broad view of American culture.
