Known for his kooky and over-the-top aesthetic, Jeremy Scott typically dishes tacky-threads that seem to be indigenous to Scott’s deranged mind—always appearing to be one of a kind and original. This was not the case for his Fall 2013 collection.

His influences felt familiar initially, but we made the counterfit-connection after Jimbo Phillips, iconic skateboard artist and son of Jim Phillips who worked with Santa Cruz Skateboards in the 1980’s titled a post “This is crazy!” over Facebook and aligned Jimbo Phillips Graphix past work with Jeremy’s runway looks side-by-side; images of disfigured faces popped eyeballs, animated brains and green-faced creatures that appear on Phillips skateboards match identically to Scott’s garments.

Jeremy’s copycat clothes don’t stop with Phillips, as the Tumblr Vampirestatebuilding pointed out, Scott a particular skull stencil design on one of his knits from the collection– that design also appeared on a drum case in Desperately Seeking Susan carried by Madonna.

We reached out to Jim Phillips to discuss the allegations against Jeremy’s knock-off collection, he had this to say “Skateboarders are very passionate about their sport and protective of their culture and are not receptive to outsiders trying to capitalize on images they hold sacred. Skateboarders span the entire globe and these graphics are a universal language that all skaters can relate to. This fashion designer stepped into a hornets nest when he decided to use VERY similar images to famous skateboard graphics, some that have been around over 20 years.”

Given Mr. Phillips’ comments, it’s safe to draw that there was not a licensing agreement or matter of collaboration. We’ve reached out to all parties, Jeremy Scott’s included for comments—we’ll keep you updated.
