Moschino’s creative director and the subject of the 2015 documentary “Jeremy Scott: The People’s Designer” is democratic when it comes to who he’d like to wear the brand’s eyewear designs from Safilo.

“I would like to see my shades on pop stars and stay-at-home moms, Wall Street bankers and rappers from the Bronx, starlets poolside in Hollywood, and grunge punks on Melrose,” says Scott. “I want to see them on everybody—all cool kids all around the world!”

Here, he breaks down his eyewear inspo.

On the Moschino SS18 eyewear collection from Safilo:

There are many inspirations, from 1950s starlets to punk ballerinas with spiky studs.

What he looks for in sunglasses:

I feel like you can really enhance your mood by the sunglasses you choose to wear—it’s like being in a role in film.

I sometimes want to have something very classic retro with a twist that feels carefree and fun. Other times I want something that is tough and makes me feel strong like a badass. Sometimes I want to wear something that will make me feel hidden in plain sight!

And then still sometimes I want to wear something that says, “Look at me!” It all really depends on my mood, and that’s why I want to create shades that can enhance all these different feelings and moments in one’s life.
