Jeremy Scott has signed with WME-IMG, the fashion and talent agency who is
also a force behind New York Fashion Week. The announcement comes just
after Moschino announced their plans to unveil their men’s spring 2017 and
women’s resort 2017 collections in Los Angeles, where Scott is based.
The runway show will take place during the city’s first-ever MADE Los
Angeles by MADE Fashion Week, which was acquired by WME-IMG last year.
Scott, known to some as “the people’s designer”, as his documentary
released about him last year was titled, rose from humble beginnings to
acquire a high level of designer celebrity. He’s been known to align
himself with major pop stars like Miley Cyrus and Rita Ora, and he’s
essentially put Moschino on the map for an entirely new, younger generation
of fashionistas. He also has his own eponymous label which consistently has
a full house at New York Fashion Week.
Scott has become famous for referencing pop culture in his designs
including everything from cartoons like The Powerpuff Girls, Ren and
Stimpy, to fast-food chains like McDonalds.
As both a fashion and entertainment agency, WME-IMG has a lot to offer
Scott in terms of furthering his fashion celebrity status. They also own
the fashion focused network Made2Measure, so maybe a reality television
series starring Scott could be in the works? A whole new world is open to
the designer now.
