Jeremy Scott Fashion's Last Rebel

Jeremy Scott’s September fashion show, a hair-metal-meets-hillbilly reverie. First Mr. Scott conjured a promiscuous denim world. One model wore fringed cut-offs so tight Daisy Duke would be appalled.A male model in green leather chaps and a jockstrap garnered an ovation. (It was unclear whether the cheering was directed at the outfit or how amply the young man filled it out.) At the end of the show, Mr. Scott didn’t just peek out from backstage to wave but stormed the length of the runway, the designer as grand finale.The look that day was rife with Batman influences. He wore a hockey jersey customized with a hand-stitched image of the Caped Crusader appropriated from a pillowcase. Scrawled in marker on the bill of his ’80s Batman painter’s cap were the words “Best bat wishes to a real life superhero.”
