#BadBoyFashion. Scott is known for designing fun, often outlandish clothing that attracts fashion-forward civilians and celebrities alike (think Jared Leto, Miley Cyrus and Lady Gaga). The Missouri-born designer partnered with Adidas in 2008 to create a collection of footwear and apparel. Backup dancers for Madonna's Super Bowl performance wore track suits from the collection.

"Here today at Jeremy Scott the theme is cowboys with cowboy boots on. This is cowboy gone to the rave. And I expect what he does best, a lot of color and fun, and accessible for people,"
Perez Hilton, blogger

"As always the prints are amazing and he just gets it, he gets pop culture more than anyone I think. That's why the Rihannas of the world, the Mileys, the Katy Perrys are all obsessed with him,"
Zane Roberts Rassi, Senior Fashion Editor, Marie Claire Magazine

"I used to do his shows early on in my career and it was always a lot of fun,"
Coco Rocha, model

"I've been a long time friend and fan, and Jeremy's all about having very fun fashion,"
Leah Lezark, DJ

Scene: Reem Acra

The Beiruit-born Acra began her bridal company in 1997 after betting a friend that she could design the friend's wedding dress in under three weeks. She succeeded, and the New York Times took note and published the photograph of the finished product. Her brand expanded to include ready-to-wear in 2008, and today her designs are carried in more than 150 retailers around the world. Acra has said that her favorite celebrities to dress include Angelina Jolie and Madonna.

"This collection was designed for a femme fatale. What you'll see in this collection is mixture of fabrics, details that are under layers. The colors are all dyed to match my color palette. They're all made for me. The beading, the mixing of textures, the look of every dress. Each one has four or five things going on but at the same time they're kind of barely there. So many fabrics in the same dress. I advise women to dress to seduce and this is all about that."
Reem Acra, designer
