Jeremy Scott at Revolve Clothing

The word “edgy” is certainly overused, especially when it comes to fashion. What passes for edge is often just an echo of something that was once edgy – but not so for Jeremy Scott. The proof? In the past, he’s pushed the envelope a little too far and became fashion’s bette noire, inspiring absolute loathing from the press. Style.com doesn’t even cover his shows anymore.
But true chic is often a misfit (see Lynn Yaeger and Patrick McDonald), and that’s where Scott doesn’t disappoint. His spring line is now carried on Forward at Revolve Clothing, a site that’s worth watching for up-and-coming designers. Most of his spring designs are actually wearable this time around, and some are truly inspired, like this Tulip Dress in Floral Flights ($435). In this economy, if you’re going to buy anything at all, why not buy something outrageous?
This “Troll de Jolie” jumper ($435) is the most subversive use of toile I’ve seen in a while. Perfect for a picnic on a Brooklyn stoop.
Normally I don’t like these diaper-style baggy pants, but these “Geni” pants ($266) changed my mind. The drape of this black jersey is actually flattering.
This surrealist Clock Beret ($87 on sale) from fall 2008 reminded me of Patrick McDonald.
How amazing is this Fox Run scarf ($275) from his fall collection? It takes a very clever fox to appear in knitwear and not fur form. If I had it, I would be wrapped up in it now.
