JEREMY

JEREMY SCOTTOver the last twenty years, American designer Jeremy Scott shocked and awed fashion critics and lovers alike with his bright colours, comical prints and frequent shows of outrageous designs. Constantly pushing the boundaries in fashion, Scott's mark on the fashion landscape led to a breakdown in consumer barriers by blurring the lines between high and low culture. He endured a rough childhood, so he grew up strong. Many of his job applications were rejected, so he became his own boss. He has listened to criticisms of his works, but continues to create fashion people can enjoy. Withstanding tireless adversity, the designer has never let anything stand in the way of his passion and creativity.An audience of drag queens, club scene members and fashion cognoscenti gather at Scott's fashion shows. These eccentrics form the core of Scott's plight to break free of the bindings the fashion industry tries to wrap around him. He is a true renegade: someone with unconventional ideas and methods, resisting the norm through all means.AUTHOR CHARLIE O'BRIENA culture enthusiast with a deeply-held passion for the written word, Charlie O'Brien graduated from Griffith University with a Bachelors in Communication and the dedication to become a professional writer.
