Jeremy Scott leaves Moschino after a decade of wacky fashion: the Italian luxury brand’s creative director steps down after making a splash with Angela Bassett’s Oscars look and Milan Fashion Week
The company made the announcement Monday.
“Scott has penned a fundamental chapter in the legacy of the brand with his fearless and show stopping pop-camp style and incisive humour – true to the renowned codes of the house,” the company said in an email statement.
The American designer took over at Moschino in October 2013 with a groundbreaking autumn/winter collection that, according to the statement, “launched a thousand debates on the role of fashion in the annals of art, consumerism and social commentary”.
The Missouri-born Scott has put out collections that focused his pop culture and tongue-in-cheek lens on Barbie, aliens and Ronald McDonald. Katy Perry, Madonna, Rita Ora and Zendaya are among celebrities who have worn his creations.
