Well, well, well, look what we got here! Some Fear of God news, huh? That Jerry fella, he’s always cookin’ somethin’ up. I tell ya, these young’uns and their fancy clothes. Back in my day, we just wore what kept us warm. But hey, times change, right? So, what’s the big fuss about this Fear of God stuff this time?
I heard they got a new somethin’ somethin’, a big ol’ bunch of clothes they call “Essentials”. Essentials! Like it’s bread and butter or somethin’. They say it’s the biggest one yet. Biggest what, I don’t know. Bunch of shirts and pants, I reckon. Probably cost an arm and a leg, too. This is for the holiday time. You know, when folks like to spend all their money on things they don’t need.
- They got this new thing, biggest “Essentials” ever.
- It’s for the holidays, that time of year.
- Probably gonna cost ya a pretty penny.
And they got fancy words for it, like “streetwear.” Streetwear? What in the tarnation is that? Back in my day, we just called ’em clothes. But I guess if you put a fancy name on it, you can charge more, huh? Smart kids, these designers. This Jerry fella, he’s from Los Angeles. That’s a long way from here. Lots of fancy folks in Los Angeles, I hear. All them movie stars and whatnot.
They also got somethin’ called the “Eternal Collection.” Eternal! Sounds like somethin’ you’d wear to a funeral. But I guess these young folks like that kinda stuff. They had somethin’ like it last year, too. I heard they didn’t do no clothes for two whole years before that. Two years! Can you imagine? Guess they was busy thinkin’ up new ways to make pants look fancy.
This Jerry, he’s famous for his, uh, flannels. You know, those checkered shirts. My grandson wears ’em. Says they’re all the rage. I told him he looks like a lumberjack. He just laughed. Kids these days. They got all this Fear of God clothing, trying to build a “wardrobe.” What’s wrong with a closet, I say? We use it for clothes. It’s good.
They say this Fear of God, it’s “modern luxury.” Luxury! Like we’re all kings and queens or somethin’. Back in my day, luxury was a good pair of shoes that didn’t leak when it rained. And a warm soup in your belly. Now it’s these fancy clothes. And they call it “streetwear.” I still don’t get that one. My old brain, it just can’t understand. All the Fear of God news just makes me dizzy.
- “Eternal Collection” is new, sounds fancy, kinda.
- Jerry makes flannels, my grandson wears ’em.
- They call it “modern luxury,” whatever that means.
Now, this Jerry fella, I hear he’s a church-goin’ man. A Christian, they say. That’s good. We need more good folks in this world. But he don’t go around preachin’ about it, which is also good. He says this Fear of God thing, it can mean different things to different folks. Like, if you’re scared of God, then that’s what it means. But if you love God, then it means somethin’ else. Like respect, or somethin’. I guess that makes sense. But it don’t have much to do with pants, far as I can tell.
They say he started this whole Fear of God thing back in 2013. That’s a while back. He makes clothes that are supposed to last a long time. “Timeless,” they call it. Well, that’s good, I guess. If you’re gonna spend all that money, you want ’em to last more than a season. They say these clothes are a “symbol of contemporary culture.” Whatever that means. Fear of God brand is big. I don’t know what it means.
He started the Fear of God brand in Los Angeles. That place is wild, I heard. They say the clothes are an “American expression.” Well, I’m American, and I don’t wear nothin’ like that. But I guess I’m just an old lady. What do I know about fashion? Nothin’, that’s what. All I know is, my old bones are tired, and these newfangled clothes just make my head spin. I’m gonna go have a cup of tea and try not to think about all this Fear of God news anymore.
- Jerry’s a Christian, that’s good.
- Fear of God started in 2013, in Los Angeles.
- Clothes are supposed to be “timeless,” and “American.”
