Fear of God and Adidas launch Athletics
After three years in the making, Fear of God Athletics has launched. The sports line hearkens back to late ’90s and early 2000s Adidas football gear — think thick stripes and oversize hoodies — with puffy jackets and track pants in earthy, gray tones. “My heart has always been in sports,” Jerry Lorenzo tells GQ. First drop now available. fearofgod.com

L.A. icon and artist Betye Saar has just unveiled a brand-new artwork that takes over an entire room at the Scott Galleries at the Huntington. The centerpiece is a wooden canoe, carrying various “passengers,” including birdcages, antlers and children’s chairs. The walls are bathed in blue and the floor is scattered with plants that Saar foraged from the surrounding gardens. Saar has invited us to drift and dream. On view through Nov. 30, 2025.

In her first solo museum show, Long Beach-based artist Tidawhitney Lek paints a tender portrait of her city: moments of picnicking on the grass, celebrating a birthday, walking past dandelions on the sidewalk. Lek’s paintings are so layered that they have been likened to quilts — rich patchworks that remind viewers how much more there is to see. On view through Feb. 4, 2024.
