Jeremy Scott has a new gig. And it’s perhaps an unexpected one.
The designer, former creative director of Moschino, has been known to merge the worlds of fashion and pop culture through art. Now, he brings together beauty and design through a collaboration with SpoiledChild, the hair and skin care brand. (It’s not his first partnership in beauty; he designed a fluffy pink bag for Furtuna Skin in 2022.)
Scott, calling from his second home in Palm Springs, Calif., said he learned about SpoiledChild through his aesthetician in Los Angeles, Michelle Montiel.
“I was questioning her about them, and then we started playing with them, and I fell in love with them, and I was just very enthralled,” he said. “I love good skin and wellness and taking care of myself. And I just kind of started getting so excited about not only the actual products and how they affect your skin, but the packaging.”
Going off of SpoiledChild’s existing look — showcasing attention-grabbing, colorful packaging made in refillable or recyclable materials — Scott brings space-inspired designs with the future in mind. In a limited-edition set, Scott dressed up one of the brand’s products, the H30 Fibroquin Advanced Firming Eye Cream, in a chrome spaceship case.
“The products already have this futuristic sci-fi movie kind of feeling of these bottles,” Scott continued. “And then I was thinking about the future. And, I mean, so many people get so dreary about aging and getting older, and also have a fear of the future, frankly. I don’t, and I don’t subscribe to any of that. I fully believe growing older is an extreme luxury. The opposite is not being alive. The ultimate luxury is growing older and being able to experience life.”
He also designed a metallic silver bag and hooded jacket, featuring the word “spoiled” in all caps on the back, as part of the release. The collection drops on Nov. 15, but access to the waitlist opened Tuesday at spoiledchild.com.
“I thought about the hoodie being like foil, so that it would give that astronaut suit vibe,” he explained. The interior is a “wasabi” green for an unexpected pop of color, tied to the vibrant aesthetic the brand is known for.
When SpoiledChild launched in February 2022 by Oddity (the parent company behind Il Makiage), it introduced 17 refillable stock keeping units across hair care and skin care, priced from $45 to $95. The brand then added ingestibles, including E27 Extra Strength Liquid Collagen and L30 Biotin & Multi-vitamin Hair Gummies, entering the wellness space. The popularity of these products helped it rake in $48 million in gross sales in its first year. Oddity’s global chief financial officer Lindsay Drucker Mann told WWD that SpoiledChild is profitable, delivering $110 million in net revenue during 2023.
“I fell in love with the apple cider vinegar probiotics,” Scott said of the gummies. “I know they’re not candy, and I have to remind myself of that,” he laughed.
Scott has more work projects coming, he said, staying mum on details. “Everything is still under lock and key right now.”
