PSV Honors is the new signature fundraising and awareness event for Private School Village — a gathering where vibrant community impact meets celebration; where we center the intersection of educational equity and excellence with parent empowerment and student success and well-being. This first-of-its-kind honors program will spotlight educators, schools, parents, and community leaders advancing equity and belonging for Black and Brown students in private schools and beyond.

With an anticipated 200+ distinguished guests, the event will honor Desiree and Jerry Lorenzo Manuel, the powerhouse duo behind Fear of God, and the co-architects of a modern American house shaped by restraint, proportion, and spiritual conviction. Together, they define a vision of luxury rooted in purpose—where faith, family, and sport inform a timeless design language. As partners in life and vision, their work positions Fear of God as a cultural expression of authenticity, alignment, and legacy.

Beyond clothing, the Manuel’s impact is felt in how they model purpose-driven leadership—prioritizing community, integrity, and cultural ownership. In doing so, they have helped shift the industry toward a more inclusive and meaningful expression of style, where culture leads and legacy matters.
