Profession : Designer

Birth : August 8, 1975

Jeremy Scott

I think fashion takes itself way too seriously. It's just fashion, people. It's just clothes. It should be frivolous and fun. You're not meant to see it as church and pray to a blouse.

Jeremy Scott

Fashion should have a transgressive nature; it can make you feel like someone else, give you heightened emotion. It should bring you joy and uplift you.

Jeremy Scott

I like the mix of something farmlike and something futuristic and artsy mixed together. It's kind of both my worlds.

I have lots of muses, but one of my main girls is Cara Delevingne. She epitomises the way to wear my clothes. I love how she mixes up her style and the way she has so much fun. I simply adore her.

Jeremy Scott

I think when people think of something as basic, they think that it's boring.

Jeremy Scott

Fashion is an ultimate luxury - I mean, you don't need it - so it should bring you pleasure and make you happy. I don't like the idea of people revering it.

Jeremy Scott

I feel my role is to push boundaries. I don't like things to be safe and sedentary. So controversy is the cross I have to bear.

Jeremy Scott

A lot of my collections are informed by nostalgia. I think that's because I loved clothes early on. I remember, at maybe age five, being concerned about what I wore, right down to the underwear.

Jeremy Scott

My country is in the toilet. And when my country is in the toilet, the world is in the toilet.

Jeremy Scott

I'm a populist. I'm the people's designer... It's important that there are price points that allow people in who maybe don't have the ability to have higher-ticket items - but they can still have something very emblematic of the collection.

Jeremy Scott

I think because of the eccentricity of my work and how I dress, people expect me to be bouncing off the walls. But that's just not how I am.

Jeremy Scott

There probably wasn't a day that went by in high school that I wasn't bullied either physically or verbally. It made me stronger, and I knew I had to stay steadfast to what I believed in.

There are so many serious things in the world; I just choose not to be one of them.

Jeremy Scott

Designers have a reputation for setting the tone for what people - and especially women - are supposed to wear. How long their skirts should be, things like that. I have a different philosophy: put something out there with humour; let people see that and come around to it on their own.

Jeremy Scott

I'm not anti-intellectual, but primarily, I try to feel things. Emotions aren't always rational; it's not possible to put them into words.

Jeremy Scott

I've met people with my prints tattooed on them, my face tattooed on them - I have that commitment and love.
