Shoes are the highlight of Jerell Scott’s fashion statement. Coming from Houston, Texas, Jerell found his way into fashion designing through modeling. His passion arose when he realized that he couldn’t afford “the cool stuff” he wore during shows. He ended up teaching himself how to make the clothing he wanted to wear, and joining Project Runway to improve his skills.
Jerell describes himself as eclectic and bold, as well as having a unique eye for details. It is his desire to create pieces that enhance and express the individuality of a person. He is motivated by designers like Alexander McQueen, Vivien Westwood and Karl Lagerfeld, and is inspired by life itself. To him, his designs can be classified as “raw beauty.”
