Jeremy Scott Goes Pop Art
Wild as usual, Jeremy Scott's Spring/Summer 2014 collection was filled with sixties bouffants, graphic tees that read "Earth Sucks," and prints by Pop Surrealist Kenny Scharf.

On Wednesday, Jeremy Scott debuted his collection "Teenagers from Mars," which was, of course, the crazy and fun-loving spectacle that typically arises from the designer's shows.
Between the oversized, sixties-style bouffants by British hairstylist Eugene Souleiman and majorly vibrant mini-dresses and bathing suits printed with TV SMPTE color bars, Scott continued to secure his spot in the style world as the Jeff Koons of fashion.
The particular stand-out of the collection, however, were the unique prints designed in collaboration with Pop Surrealist Kenny Scharf. Scharf, who emerged in the 80s alongside other contemporary artists like Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring, is recognized for his cartoon-meets-grafitti style work. The prints of the collection feature just that--skirts with cartoon faces, cut-out dresses decorated in the artist's recognizable red squiggles, and even bathing suits that feature his signature shapeless blobs.
"[E]ver since I first saw his collection of Jetsonesque designs, I immediately felt that we would be a great match," Scarf said in the show notes of their collaboration. "Jeremy is the first person that I ever let take my art and do whatever he wants. I wasn't nervous about it not being the greatest most fun thing and I wasn't let down for one second!"
