This is the Run Through.
I'm Nicole Phelps.
Today, we have Fear of God founder and designer Jerry Lorenzo on the show.
Just last night,
he was given the CFDA Innovation Award and he joined us in the studio ahead of the award ceremony.
Jerry is a great and thoughtful storyteller.
He shared with us how he went from throwing Hollywood parties to starting one of fashion's most influential labels.
We also talked about his views on elegance and comfort and what innovation means to him.
Welcome Jerry Lorenzo.
Thank you for joining me on the run through.
Thank you for having me.
We are several hours ahead of the CFDA fashion awards.
You are receiving the innovation award.
You have said that you orient yourself around purpose and not so much about being in the conversation.
But here you are in the conversation and I want to know what it feels like to be to be getting this award.
Anytime you're recognized for The 10,000 hours is it's humbling that could be Someone on the street coming up and telling you how much they love how How they feel and what you make or it could be an award like tonight.
I mean,
I think it For me I just take it all as encouragement that I'm on the right path and I'm kind of doing what I've been called to do I'm just happy to be acknowledged to be honest Well,
as an aside,
my son was wearing the Vogue Fear of God sweatshirt that you made for the Vogue World event yesterday out in New York City.
