Over time we have seen fashion designer and style maven Jerry Lorenzo dawn outfits that transcend streetwear and encroach on the now ever-evolving high fashion luxury market. Noticeably, we have avoided the simple eyewear he has bestowed, that he sported in-home and on the streets from time, to point out his Fear Of God threads to his signature Nike footwear.

Soon, we can wear the new, Barton Perreira x Fear of God eyewear collaboration, beside his many other collaborations, to style with those earth tones he has made a living out of. 

Walking With The Fear of God

While creating his lane in fashion, giving the baggy aesthetic a refined and appreciated overhaul, and even contrasting that with slimmer more Slimane-like silhouettes, he found a pair of frames that respectively compliment his swagger, almost a decade ago.

On Lorenzo’s face, pairs of Barton Perreira eyeglasses have been the - lowkey - minimal style accessory of choice to his sartorial endeavors. Giving him the sophisticated look that every genius seems to be attracted to.

Attracted to these frames as he was, as Lorenzo couldn’t help noticing them at an eyewear store in L.A where he ultimately found the "solution [he] needed," having to wear glasses, as most of us can relate to.

“I found my first pair at Dan Duestch’s optical boutique here Los Angeles,”

Lorenzo told Robb Report. He claims to have fallen

“in love with the frames without having any [prior] knowledge of the - brand.”

Lorenzo likens it to “digging at a vintage flea market.”

Walking By Faith Not By Sight

Since discovering Barton Perreira eyewear, he has worn them in and out of the frame of the public for us to even notice. But the co-founders of the Japanese-made Barton Perreira, Patty Perreira, and Bill Barton saw all they needed with clear confidence. Confidence was enough to reach out to an unassuming Jerry Lorenzo for a collaboration that had more meaning than just spicing up the eyewear market for either brand. 

 It seems as genuine collaboration as can be, admirably one who has gotten the chance to create with their beloved brand. 

Launched in 2007, Barton Perreira was on the faces of celebrities like Ryan Gosling and Brad Pitt, and with the touch and “Fear Of God,” these will be surely adored by the fashion elites. The “un-opinionated” frames were just what Lorenzo could work with. 

Collaborative Effort

His overall aesthetic when collaborating is known for creating tones that complement his current fashion label. These Barton Perreira frames do no different, with translucent colors of champagne, khaki, linen, black and egg-shell tones, these five frames hold a luxe quality that resonates with both these brands ideal patrons.

You can get one of these pairs Friday, June 19th, when they are available for purchase, or you can pre-order now at the Barton Perreira website.
