Description
The definitive monograph on Jeremy Scott, one of the most creative and influential American designers working in fashion today. Jeremy Scott is an American designer whose sensibility has brought elements of humour, rebellion, and fantasy to the elevated culture of couture-from his earliest collections in Paris to the outrageous runway shows in recent years that led the New York Times to call him fashion's last rebel. Creative, original, and iconic, Scott is the voice of his generation, his work a colourful marriage of the ubiquity of cultural reference with the refinement of high fashion. Since the late 1990s-when he twice won the Venus de la Mode Award for Best New Designer-Scott has retained his bright and extravagant style while honing his vision to take each collection in a new and startling direction. Referred to by Karl Lagerfeld as the only designer worthy of taking over at Chanel, Scott also dresses the icons of pop, from Madonna to Rihanna, and alongside his eponymous collections he is creative director of Moschino and designs streetwear for Adidas.
This book reflects all the style of Jeremy Scott's world, from snapshots of fittings in his studio to Polaroids taken backstage at shows and editorial work from Inez and Vinoodh, Steven Meisel, Ellen von Unwerth, and Terry Richardson, among others. With an introduction by Jeffrey Deitch, this is a lavish survey of one of today's most iconic designers.

"...hundreds of photos showcasing Scott's fashion designs from magazine shoots, runway shows and Scott's personal archive are featured in a new coffee-table tome...The cult designer - who fashions a cartoony signature label, the pop culture- inspired Moschino line in Milan and an Adidas collection - compiled his favorite pictures of models and muses for the book. Flipping through the colorful pages, his subversive humor and ability to comment on culture through clothes comes through loud and clear." -New York Post"If anyone knows how to elevate pop culture phenomena, it's Jeremy Scott. The farm-boy-turned-club-kid-turned-designer has managed to not only convince the fashion community to accept mass media sensations, but also to embrace American consumerism...The designer's eponymous new coffee table read, follows his career-from the time he began interning at Moschino to his own line's first collection and his multi-season collaboration with Adidas. Through vibrant campaign images, backstage Polaroids, behind-the-scenes shots from fittings, and celebrity editorials (starring the likes of Katy Perry, Lindsay Lohan, Grimes, and M.I.A.), the book chronicles Scott's tongue-in-cheek exploration of gluttony, sexuality, politics, and icongraphy." -Nylon Magazine
"The poptastic, high-low outrageousness of Jeremy Scott's first two collections for Moschino instantly connected with the Instagram generation and put the fun back in Milan fashion week. Though he's never enjoyed a profile quite like the one he has now, the Kansas-born designer has been up to similar antics for the last 15 years, as his self-titled new book, published by Rizzoli, makes abundantly clear. Its 300 color photographs by the biggest names in the business showcase the wit, irreverence, and sheer energy that have won him fans like Madonna, Rihanna, and Miley." -Style.com
"Jeremy Scott never met a pop-culture reference he didn't like. But he doesn't just reference pop culture - he's enamored of the personalities who shape it...A new retrospective book examines some of the through lines in Scott's poppy, one-of-a-kind oeuvre." -New York Magazine
