Jeremy Scott’s Cartoon Savannah
Jeremy Scott’s first collection for Adidas, released earlier this year, was a glittery-gold selection of irresistibly cut (wearable) harem pants, sequins, sporty fringed tanks and coveted winged hightops. His next installment abandons his black-gold-and-silver, Studio 54 color palette for a hue explosion and elongation of the tribal streetwear trend pioneered by MIA and Cassette Playa. Leopard-spotted sweatshirts, global mapped bodycon dresses and “tribal mask”-printed, exposed-pocket track suits all make appearances in this eminently watchable video collaboration with the video director Nabil. Appropriately, The Very Best, Esau Mwamwaya, MIA and Santigold soundtrack the trampoliney splashing around his collection apparently demands.

On The Street: JereMIA
- story THE FADER
In 2001 we were introduced to a mulleted Jeremy Scott sporting an over-sized sports patch coat, the kind that became so notoriously popular on the streets not more than a year later. At the time, if we remember correctly, he was doing designs for Bjork during her Vespertine tour (adhering to that stranger-than-fiction style she exudes), so it came as no surprise that seven years later we find him with another oddball fashionista draped over his shoulder—for those of you who can’t tag that profile, those are MIA’s pouty red lips. Just before slipping out of the club, Jeremy and MIA paused to pose, giving us just enough time to snap a pic of him in his Cross Colours-inspired Africa print puff coat.
