Jeremy Scott is known for being wildly irreverent with his fashion collections. This season was no exception, with bright patterns and bold hues. Scott opted for a fearless, in your face approach with graphic prints reading “HOT HOT HOT”.
Models wore sleek bob hairstyles and gave off some serious Barbie doll vibes. Each and every look from Jeremy Scott Spring/Summer 2017 was ultra cool and totally sizzling, especially the ones with latex involved. One outfit featured a graphic cropped top reading “New York” layered over a black latex skirt and pointed pink pumps.
Another two piece look featured a long-sleeved top with knit sleeves, held together by o-rings and bondage-inspired straps. The latex definitely gives this look a sleek feel. Looking totally mod, another model sported a black latex bustier paired with a pleated skirt with a graphic print, while another wore a blue latex bra over a three-dimensional, abstract shaped skirt.
Leather was also prominently featured in Jeremy Scott’s collection, appearing as tough looking trousers on a male model and edgy yet chic with a leather cut-out dress. With tons of silver accents and rows of O-rings, one leather number looked totally killer.
Balenciaga is all about volume and shape for next spring and summer. Patent vinyl and latex fabrics were in rotation, especially with a lemon colored hooded raincoat. Florals were popular here, and the raincoat certainly looked charming with floral printed booties.
Another set of coats were in the mix, including a sleek black patent vinyl trench coat. For styling ideas, contrast with a bold set of tights, like lime green, for a look that’ll have all eyes on you. Another style featured an all black stretch vinyl raincoat, worn with the hood up for extra drama.
Style with a loose, open drape for a carefree look. From the look of things, it seems like latex, leather and patent vinyl fabrics are circulating on the fashion forecast for next season.

The all-black stretch vinyl raincoat with the hood up seems like a simple piece, but the article makes it sound dramatic and almost cinematic.
The “HOT HOT HOT” graphic pieces feel so on-brand for Jeremy Scott, but pairing them with latex skirts and pink pumps really pushed the playful Barbie vibe even further.
The Barbie doll vibe mentioned with the sleek bobs and bright hues gives the whole collection a playful twist that balances out the harsher latex and leather.
It’s interesting how both designers use shine differently, with Scott going graphic and playful while Balenciaga leans into volume and sculptural shapes.
That black latex bustier with the pleated graphic skirt sounds like a standout look, especially with the mod styling and sleek bob hairstyles tying everything together.
I found the emphasis on silver accents and rows of O-rings interesting, since those details really amplify the edgy, almost punk feel of the leather looks.
The blue latex bra layered over a sculptural skirt sounds like a really daring silhouette, especially with that three-dimensional shape adding volume.
Jeremy Scott’s use of bright graphics like “New York” over latex really leans into pop culture, which keeps the collection feeling accessible despite the bold materials.
The mention of pointed pink pumps with the latex skirt really completes that playful yet sharp look, adding a pop of color without overwhelming it.
Jeremy Scott’s fearless use of bold text and color alongside fetish-inspired details creates a really unique tension that makes the collection memorable.
I appreciate the note about styling vinyl trenches with bold tights like lime green, because otherwise those patent pieces can feel intimidating to wear.
The idea of leaving a vinyl coat open for a loose drape is helpful, since those materials can look stiff if styled too rigidly.
That combination of knit sleeves with latex and hardware details seems like a clever way to break up textures while still keeping everything cohesive.
I liked how the article highlighted the o-rings and bondage-inspired straps on that knit-sleeve top, it adds an industrial edge without losing the fun energy Scott is known for.
Balenciaga’s lemon hooded raincoat paired with floral booties feels like such a surprising combination, but I can totally see it working for spring.
The floral elements at Balenciaga help soften the otherwise glossy, structured vinyl pieces, especially when paired with something like that raincoat.
The mix of leather trousers on a male model and the cut-out leather dress shows how versatile leather still is, from tough to polished depending on styling.
I like how the article ties together latex, leather, and patent vinyl as a broader trend rather than isolated pieces from different designers.
