Jeremy Jeremy Jeremy Scott

Jeremy Scott is an American Fashion designer born in Kansas City. He attended the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York, for fashion design. Scott started his runway career in Paris and has since shown collections in Paris, New York, Los Angeles, London, Moscow and Seoul.

He has built a reputation for outrageous designs favored by pop stars and celebrities.

Karl Lagerfeld said in the newspaper Le Monde that Scott was the only designer who could ever succeed him at CHANEL. Scott is known for humorous prints—splattering the essence of new rave all over his clothes—and the carry-all bags he designs each season for the French luxury company Longchamp. The designer was named number 31 in the Face’s ‘Most Important People in Fashion’ issue. He also appeared on the cover of fashion English magazine I-D in July 2007: the first designer to be featured there wearing clothes of his own design and shot as a self portrait.

SINCE a year we decided to bring in our STORE WOK collection by Jeremy Scott.
