Jeremy Scott
With a spring collection designed to make you feel and look like trash, literally, Jeremy Scott transformed his usual body-con silhouettes into cheap plastic bags from the deli, the crud on the floor of a movie theater, and the gnarly stuff that accumulates in a gutter in Bushwick—basically the most degrading materials in the Western world. Plus a dress of fake prosciutto, just in case you didn’t get the point: you are a piece of meat. And when the leather chaps joined the mix, the lightbulb switched on: degradation is the crux of S&M, the base of the kink pyramid. This isn’t about self-esteem, this is about sex. Of course.
