Jeremy Scott - Art Imitating Art

Two different centuries, two different designers, but Jeremy Scott's whimsical and art-inspired designs are very reminiscent of Elsa Schiaparelli.
Elsa Schiaparelli designed in the 1940's 50's and 60's. She was heavily influenced by Surrealists such as Salvador DalĂ­ and Alberto Giacometti. Jeremy Scott is known for his iconic Pop cultural references and humorous prints. In his line for Adidas, you can see such pieces as his high top sneaker with an extended wing - it has become an instant best seller and a cultural Icon for Adidas.
