DESIGNER PROFILE: JEREMY SCOTT

Inspired by none other than Kelly Cutrone last night on Kell On Earth, we decided to probe a bit and put the spotlight on a designer who is off the beaten fashion path, and always left of center. His iconic collections feature wild, outrageous pop art themes, and this latest (FW2010) was no exception.

Admittedly, what caught our attention was the kitschy collaboration pliage bag that he has done with Longchamp since 2006 for his front-row clientele and uber-quirky fan base. Here, a photo of the most recent creation rests comfortably under Leigh Lezark’s feet:

In uncovering some of his genius we remembered seeing the muppet diva, Miss Piggy at one of his shows a few seasons back. (She has claimed- along with Agyness Deyn, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga, that he is her favorite designer.) Karl Lagerfeld has also said that “[he] Scott was the only designer who could ever take over after him when he leaves Chanel” (LeMonde).
