Oscar Isaac emerges as the latest face of Jerry Lorenzo’s Fear of God line, fronting the Collection 8 campaign. The Guatemalan-American actor, celebrated for his roles in Star Wars, X-Men, and Ex Machina, brings his signature charisma to a series of black-and-white images lensed by photographer Luis Alberto Rodriguez. Isaac’s association with Fear of God isn’t a novel affair, as enthusiasts may recall his character Jonathan Levy in HBO’s Scenes From a Marriage donning a batwing pullover from Fear of God’s collaboration with Zegna – a sartorial choice that sparked conversations and set the tone for his character’s wardrobe throughout the series.
The Collection 8 campaign unveils Isaac adorned in several striking pieces that debuted during Fear of God’s historic runway show at the iconic Hollywood Bowl last spring. Departing from the brand’s understated Essentials label, Collection 8 embraces the ethos of “American luxury,” weaving a narrative inspired by both American royalty and the nuanced shades of the country’s historical injustices.
Isaac effortlessly carries the essence of Collection 8 as he models the double-wool and lapelless cougar overcoats, exuding an air of sophistication and modernity. The gabardine sweaters, leather trousers, and driver gloves further underscore the collection’s commitment to crafting a wardrobe that balances luxury with an awareness of societal issues. What sets Fear of God‘s Collection 8 apart is its purpose-driven design, delving into the complexities of American history. The line serves as a sartorial canvas reflecting both the opulence associated with American royalty and the stark realities of the nation’s past. Isaac’s portrayal of these garments adds depth and resonance, creating a visual narrative that extends beyond the realm of fashion.
