“I don’t really think about dresses until I think about a person, because it really is about the person for me,” says Jeremy Scott on the look he designed for the 'West Side Story' star.
“What does gilded glamour mean to me?” Jeremy Scott asks, musing on the creative origins of his designs for this year’s Met Gala red carpet. “Well, gilded glamour to me means gold!” We’d expect nothing less from fashion’s greatest showman, who remembers hearing the announcement of the theme and feeling like it was kismet: His fall 2022 collection for Moschino was inspired by gilded furniture. “I was already working on all these gold trims and these different embroideries,” he says.
When it came to making a dress for this year’s breakout Hollywood star, Ariana DeBose—who recently picked up an Oscar for her role as Anita in Steven Spielberg’s—Scott’s plan was to balance the baroque opulence of his fall runway with a nod to DeBose’s love for a glamorous Old Hollywood gown. “I don’t really think about dresses until I think about a person, because it really is about the person for me,” Scott says. “I want to bring their beauty to life and their personality alive.
When it came to the dress itself, Scott notes that DeBose was keen to push the boat out—and when you’re looking to push the boat out with your fashion, there are few better partners than Scott. “She said, ‘I want to go really bold and do something wilder and something more daring,’” Scott remembers.
The process of designing the dress, Scott says, took him back to the origins of his love for fashion; back to when he was a young boy growing up in the rural Midwest. “I still have that very earnest, childlike love and passion and enthusiasm for fashion,” says Scott. “I want to give that same thing that I love back to everyone else who sees my work. I want them to feel that same excitement and enthusiasm.
