In the battle of which decade we should be fondly remembering most at the most, Jeremy Scott cast his vote firmly for the ’80s. (Sorry 1990s). The designer honed in on a particular vision of the era, one that recalled the shapes and bold colors of New Wave with a healthy waft of cheap sex blowing in from a bygone Times Square. If the message wasn’t clear enough, Scott hit it home with a dress that read “Rated X” down the front. In the center a circle had been cut out. Yes, a dress that was inspired by a glory hole.
