There are lots of very talented people in the world, but what takes some people to the next level? Jeremy Scott, the People’s Designer, follows a path of chance (luck) and pure bold determination.

This documentary takes you through Jeremy Scott’s life and vision, from failed attempts to get into some New York fashion schools, and even being called untalented. His drive takes him and his boyfriend to Paris where, again, not finding any internships, someone suggests he puts on his own catwalk show. Which he does… When Moschino takes him on as their creative director, the rest becomes fashion history.

Loved by celebrities and pop culture, disapproved of by the fashion press, Scott is known for his kitsch style and putting wings on trainers. He is not everyone’s cup of tea!

But this documentary goes beyond normal fashion documentaries and shows him visiting his family and his Conservative roots. He has a family who are very proud and supportive, and instead of hiding where he comes from, he’s embraced it.
