The tridion safety cell, door mirror caps and radiator grille are all
painted in alubeam. By contrast, the bodypanels and 16”/17” Monoblock
alloy wheels are finished in polar white in the BRABUS drive variants.
The mirror triangle and rear lid are embellished by logos and lettering
featuring the words “by Jeremy Scott”.
White is also the
dominant colour in the interior, together with fine materials: the
seats, door centre panels, gear knob (petrol version only) and kneepad
are all tailor made with white, embossed leather complete with white
stitching. The diamond stitching on the seat surfaces and backs is also
found on the door centre panel. The top part of the instrument panel is
covered with embossed black tailor made leather and also boasts white
contrast stitching. The 3-spoke sports steering wheel is covered with
white leather.
A pleasing contrast is
created by the dashboard instruments, the trim to the side of the
instrument panel and the gearshift trim, all of which are finished in
alubeam. The classy look is underlined by black velours floor mats with
white leather trim and “Jeremy Scott” in elegant lettering.

Exuberant creations:
Jeremy Scott
Wings are one of the
recurring design elements used by Jeremy Scott to great effect. Be it
sweatshirts, sunglasses, watches or sneakers, winged motifs crop up
again and again in his collections. Jeremy Scott is regarded as the last
rebel of the fashion scene. When it comes to style and design, he knows
neither boundaries nor conventions. His polarising impact has
established him as a pop icon and a creator of exceptional fashion
designs. Many stars from the music scene have embraced his avant-garde
creations – they are worn by leading names such as Lady Gaga, Rihanna,
Katy Perry, Madonna, Björk and Kanye West.
Born in Kansas,
Missouri, Jeremy Scott first went to New York in 1992 to study fashion
design at the Pratt Institute, one of the leading schools of art and
design in the USA. After graduating in 1996, he made a beeline for Paris
to launch his design career at the tender age of 21. In 1996 and 1997,
he won the “Venus de la Mode Award” for the “Best New Designer” and was
nominated for the “Best Young Designer” award by the Council of Fashion
Designers of America (CFDA) in 1999. In 2001, the award-winning
wunderkind returned to the USA to take up residence in Los Angeles.
