Scott’s greatest legacy is as a colorist and print designer. The visual synchronicity, across time, between Scott and Michele is easy to grasp. But there’s more to the story, as the former-Gucci designer says in an interview with Clara Tosi Pamphili in the new book: “His flowers struck me—his colored, psychedelic garden appeared to me like the scenario of transgression.
In 1946 Scott set sail for France. Post-war Europe was in need of hope and Scott delivered it in the form of color and pattern. Christian Dior, champion of the femme fleur, used one of Scott’s rose designs in a collection. In 1955 Vittorio Fiorazzo asked Scott to help him create a textile business, Falconetto, in Milan, which was then in the process of becoming a capital of fashion. It soon was evident that Scott’s textile designs lent themselves to garments.
The idea of fashion as personal expression is something that we take for granted in 2022. Scott helped pioneer the concept with a philosophy of design rooted in his belief in individual freedom and joy.Christian Dior shoe with Martinina print designed by Ken Scott.
