George Kenneth Scott (Indiana, USA 1918-1991), aka Ken Scott, was a Painter, Gardener, Furnisher, Chef, Performer and Designer.
He has left his mark on fashion and design since the 60s. Ken Scott started his career as a painter in New York in the 1940s, with the support of Peggy Guggenheim, with whom he will remain close throughout his life.
Following his free and curious spirit, he moved to Europe in 1946 and in 1955 he settled in Milan, where he founded his first brand Falconetto and later Ken Scott, dedicated to interior design and creating textiles for prestigious fashion brands.
Starting from textiles, the artist revolutionised the style of that time: bright and sunny colours, unpredictable combinations, and joyful flowers became his “trademark”. In 60s he signed collections of clothes and accessories making him internationally renowned.
Ken Scott’s rise was unstoppable, his production varied, and his research and method were avant-garde.
His unbridled imagination and his inherent irony was accompanied by extraordinary technical skills and his most diverse creations were undeniably immortal.
