DESIGNER PROFILE >>> JEREMY SCOTT

Jeremy Scott is a Missouri-born fashion designer. He attended the prestigious Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY for fashion design. Jeremy is best known for his outrageous and sometimes comical designs. After showing in Paris for several years in order to establish his name, he returned to the United States. His unique creations have been worn by celebrities including Paris Hilton, Kanye West, Lindsay Lohan, Björk, Robyn, Cameron Diaz, Christina Aguilera, Kylie Minogue, Madonna and his good friend Cory Kennedy. His designs incorporate unconventional looks, including one-legged pants. Jeremy was named number 31 in the Face’s ‘Most Important People in Fashion’ issue, ranking higher than Alexander McQueen and Stella McCartney. He is also stylist for the band Fischerspooner.

Where else but in fashion would a sexcapade of peep shows, clam-shaped clothes, and greased-up male models indulging in a little on-runway smack-and-grab be A-OK? True, it does seem that only Jeremy Scott can get away with it, but no one flies his freak flag quite as proudly as the designer does. And after more than ten years designing his signature line, he is just as controversial and avant-garde as ever—with a fondness for one-legged pants, no less.
