LOOKBOOK: JEREMY SCOTT FOR ADIDAS

Lions and tigers and giraffes, oh my!

After designing gold winged sneakers and fringed basketball tops, what’s left to do?

If you’re Jeremy Scott for adidas Originals by Originals, you take on the world—literally.

For fall ’09, a map-turned-dress joins the Missouri-born designer’s arsenal, along with workout harem pants and a print imitating the pixilated screen of a TV set.

It’s not Scott’s first go-round with the athletic company, but it certainly reminds us why the collection has been such a hit; the pieces are as quirky as they are functional. Think cartoon jungle animals on a track jacket, surfboards on a corset dress, and an entire giraffe (that would be the legs, body, neck, and head) across a sweatshirt. Scott hasn’t mellowed out—and it’s a good thing.

King of the Jungle—or at least the jungle gym? Yeah, you could say that.
