Jeremy Scott Spring/Summer 2011 Collection is for an open mind
Oh Jeremy Scott, you proper bad boy you, what will be next? Jeremy Scott channels but invents when he designs and it is surely why he has so many fans. This season he has bits and pieces seriously reminiscent of McQueens Fall 2010 show makeup and hair, Lady gaga… and everything she stands for including her meat dress, and it must be said, San Francisco. Only the Castro Carnival, speaking from experience, compares when it comes to menswear on this level. And so it went, has anyone actually ever started a show in New York with the beloved I ? NY logo? Who cares. He did it on a Marilyn Monroe blonde in a see through apron dress you could call fabric, if you consider acetate/gauze/chiffon at it’s lightest weight, fabric. If it stays on all the way down the catwalk, it should probably count. Paired with a “classy” brief and some white biker boots, it works. And then came the parade of repeat looks with different slogans including but not limited to “Thank you for shopping”, “F*ck you”, and “Have a nice day”. Other prints and slogans included Rent Me, Trash, Fetish, Admit One, boot prints, tire marks, safety pins, and good ol’ crosses. The color palette was strictly white, black, and red (all over?). Lot’s of sexy dresses and high waitsted skirts with crop tops (trend alert) in leather, sequins, some new gold metal looking textile, and Madonna Jean Paul Gautier inspired busts. The wedding dress finale was a straight jacket with such bust and shiny satin…one can only hope. Although the polyester was surely running rabid, so was the innovation with a pop can textile and yes chaps on all his men. There will always be some shock factor when a man has on a thong and chaps and for some reason; the womens wear loses no element of pizzazz during his show. That is a feat, what with all the inner male thighs to do such distracting. The animal hoof boots took the show to a whole new level and of course when Scott came out in all white with wings on, one could help but agree his “F*ck you” was truly sincere.
