Scott to redesign the MTV Moonman for the 2015 “MTV Video Music Awards”. As homage to Jeremy and his creative talent,
the 2015 VMA Moonman encapsulates the true iconic essence of both the fashion
designer and the network. From the distinct color of the TV color bars, to the
peace sign necklace, to Jeremy’s signature sneakers, the redesign of statue is
part of MTV’s long-standing history of bridging the gap between the world of
fashion and music. Artists who win a 2015 “Video Music Award” will take home a
special-edition Jeremy Scott Moonman, which was created exclusively for this
year’s show. The 2015 “MTV Video Music Awards” will air across MTV's global
network of channels in more than 160 countries and territories, reaching more
