FASHIONS BY JORDI SCOTT Type of Place: Fashion Description: A passionate lover of both rock and fashion, designer Jordi Scott burst onto the scene during Fashion Week with her feisty Fall 2007 line, which marked her debut collection. A former member of Betsey Johnson's design team, Scott shares her previous employer's enthusiasm for pop culture and lighthearted sexiness, but the injection of a flask-in-the-coat-pocket bad-girl mentality is her own. Though some of her models came down the runway blowing kisses to the cameras, others unhesitantly gave photographers the finger. The pieces in the collection were named for recent pop-culture icons, mostly from the realm of music. The "Dita dress" was, no surprise, proudly revealing; the "Kurt jeans" were shown accessorized with handcuffs hanging from the beltloops. Wigs, thigh-high boots, and gold-lamé high heels fit right in with the overall look. I especially admired the stomach-baring "Joan Jacket" paired with gold leggings, the wearable but sexy "Liv dress" in plaid, and the excellently named "Pamela dress," a mini in metallic, shown with purple boots. The "Winona dress," short but somewhat demure, was perfect for those days when rocker girls have to go to work--or perhaps, if you're Winona, to court. The fabulous, sequinned "Electra top" and the frisky black and red flapper-style "Bianca dress," on the other hand, were clearly meant to be danced in till dawn. In couture fashion shows, it's traditional for the last model to come down the runway in bridal wear for the big finish. Scott's "Finale dress" was a full-length black vinyl creation. Brides enamoured of Goth style might just flock to it; but I could imagine it most at awards shows or other red-carpet events, giving its wearers a dose of rocker chic. Look for Scott's designs in stores nationwide next fall. -Pamela Grossman; Feb 12, 2007
