Fans have always admired the work of Jeremy Scott, who is the sole owner of his eponymous label and the creative director of the Italian fashion house. The American fashion designer joined Moschino in October 2013.

They called him their "favorite" designer and expressed how the label wouldn't be the same without him. Some stated that Jeremy Scott left a huge mark and legacy behind, and that maybe no one would ever be able to compare.
