The Jeremy Scott sweaters for fall 2014 in collaboration with Madball are a gory, neon mess. The vibrant sea monster sweaters are inspired by the 80s toy craze—Madballs. The distorted faces and punk vibe give off a creepy, cool aesthetic. The outrageous collaboration makes perfect sense since Jeremy Scott is known for his insane, out-of-this-world style and the Madballs are definitely out there. The fashion designer is a huge fan of Madballs and wanted to do a retro-inspired sweater collection for his retro brand.
Jeremy Scott wanted to create wearable Madball fashions in a nostalgic attempt to pay tribute to the iconic childhood comic book characters. The designer is also fascinated with the idea of creating gory fashions, which contributed to the fleshy design idea. The iconic gory sweaters are ghoulishly awesome.
