Jeremy Scott

Jeremy Scott was born on August 8, 1975, in Kansas City, Missouri. He moved to New York around 1992 to study fashion design at the Pratt Institute, earning a BFA in Fashion Design in 1996.

He founded his own label, Jeremy Scott, in Paris in 1997, building a reputation for pairing luxury construction with cartoonish, pop-referential imagery. Early recognition included the Venus de la Mode Award for Best New Designer, cited in sources as 1996 and 1997, the ANDAM Fashion Award, whose exact year is not consistently specified in available sources, and a CFDA nomination for Best Young Designer around 1999. His long-running collaboration with Adidas began in 2008 and continues to the present. In October 2013 he became creative director of Moschino, a role he held for a decade before announcing his departure in March 2023 via social media.

Since leaving Moschino, Scott has continued to work under his own label and through brand partnerships, most visibly a long-standing collaboration with Longchamp that was the subject of a 2026 retrospective at Longchamp's SoHo flagship, La Maison Unique, and a presentation within the Comite Colbert exhibition "Hidden Treasure" at The Shed in New York. In 2026 he returned to Kansas City to deliver the commencement address and receive an honorary degree from the Kansas City Art Institute. He continues to work and is, as of this writing, an active designer with no reported illness, retirement, or death.

Fashion press coverage frames Scott primarily as a designer who treats clothing as a vehicle for pop-cultural imagery. More recently, museum curators have begun treating his output as a subject for pairing with fine art rather than only runway coverage, most visibly in "A Match Made in Heaven," which set his fashion creations alongside Katherine Bernhardt's paintings at the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art in 2025. No verbatim, attributable quotation from a named fine-art or fashion critic in a major outlet could be confirmed for this profile.

Jeremy Scott's market differs fundamentally from a traditional fine-art auction market. There is no established record of his work trading through major fine-art auction houses such as Christie's, Sotheby's, or Phillips, and no verified all-time auction record for a Jeremy Scott piece could be confirmed as of this writing. His pieces circulate primarily through resale platforms and vintage-fashion dealers, most often listed as Moschino garments credited to his design, rather than through a gallery-driven secondary market, and price data at that level is sparse and inconsistent.

Jeremy Scott is a fashion designer rather than a gallery-represented fine artist, and there is no catalogue raisonne, foundation, or certificate-of-authenticity program governing his work. There is also no confirmed record of a fine-art gallery, or an estate, currently representing him; his output moves through his own label and through brand collaborations, most recently with Longchamp. No confirmed fine-art or collectible auction record exists for this name, so collectors should not assume a liquid secondary market. Anyone researching this name should also confirm they are looking at the correct individual: public records include an unrelated American pole-vaulter also named Jeremy Scott, an adult-film performer who used "Jeremy Scott" as a stage name, and a separate, unrelated Jeremy Lynn Scott, a convicted murderer who died in a Florida prison in September 2025. None of these should be conflated with the Kansas City-born designer profiled here.
