Throughout his decade-long tenure at the brand, the American designer would continue to combine the codes of couture and consumerism, true to the irreverent and playful spirit of founder Franco Moschino. Other of Scott’s highlights at the house include the Barbie collection for spring/summer 2015; the fall/winter 2020 collection that featured Marie Antoinette-inspired pannier dresses with miniskirts; and the recent fall/winter 2022 show, for which models like Bella and Gigi Hadid flaunted clothes that resembled furniture like clocks, chandeliers and lampshades.

“These past 10 years at Moschino have been a wonderful celebration of creativity and imagination,” shared Scott through a statement on Instagram. “I am so proud of the legacy I am leaving behind… I would also like to thank all my fans around the world who celebrated me, my collections, and my vision for without you none of this would be possible.”
