Exquisite beading and luminescent sheen created more depth to a few of the pieces. A mix of gowns, above the knee dresses, and vests were…

Welcome to Slime City! Jeremy Scott's Spring/Summer line was an ode to the late 80's flick, making us feel a bit nostalgic. Fusing S&M styles and 80's punk culture, the show opened up with graphic pieces saying "New York", "X-Rated" and "Hot Hot Hot". Dog collars, chains, garter belts and leather bondage inspired pieces gave the collection an erotic edge without being too overt. Scott made fashion fun as always with colorful graphic prints, mixing materials and playing with dimensions…
