Did you guys catch Jeremy Scott's F/W 2013 runway show at NYFW? (If not, I've got the highlights here.) Well Scott is in boiling hot water over the bold cartoony graphics on many of his designs. Looks like a cool original idea right? Not even a little bit.
Seems that his inspiration comes directly from Jim Phillips, a iconic artist whose work appears on many boards from California skateboard company: Santa Cruz Skateboards. It is ridiculously similar and despite statements from Santa Cruz and skateboard fans, Jeremy Scott has yet to release any statements or even give a notion that he recognizes the similarity. I think it looks even snakier that he hasn't responded to the plagiarism allegations seeing as though it looks like a direct copy.
So what do you think? It is a freaky coincidence or a straight up jock?
Keep in mind, this isn't his first plagiarism allegation...
