Alright Talkers, fashion and theater lovers—Jeremy Scott is back and he’s going BIG. I mean, really big. The former Moschino creative director is designing 500 costumes (yes, you read that right) for an epic new cabaret-style revue in Berlin called “Blinded by Delight.”

Let’s get into it, because this might just be one of the most visually over-the-top, theatrical experiences happening anywhere in the world this year.

What’s the Show About?

The show is being staged at the legendary Friedrichstadt-Palast in Berlin, which is basically the Vegas-meets-Broadway of Europe. The venue is famous for jaw-dropping productions that blend fashion, dance, music, and acrobatics—think Moulin Rouge x Cirque du Soleil energy, but on steroids.

“Blinded by Delight” is described as a rush of happiness and a surreal dream world—a love story designed to sweep you off your feet and into a place where the imagination rules. It’s not just a show, it’s a full sensory escape.

The production officially premieres on October 8, 2025, but previews start September 24, so if you're planning a fall Eurotrip... 👀

Enter Jeremy Scott: The Master of Maximalism

If you know Jeremy Scott, you know he doesn’t do subtle. This is the guy who turned the Moschino runway into a full-on game show, complete with “The Price Is Right”-style sets and models winning actual appliances. So yeah—he knows how to make a scene.

And now? He’s taking that larger-than-life creativity to the stage.

In his own words, “Fashion is a form of escapism”—and this project is all about transporting the audience into a dreamlike, joy-filled alternate reality. Expect color, sparkle, drama, and probably some campy surprises. Honestly, with Scott, there are no limits.

500 Costumes. No, That’s Not a Typo.

Scott is designing a whopping 500 looks for this production. Can we just take a moment to imagine the sheer glitter and glam that’s going to be involved?

Friedrichstadt-Palast shows are already known for their mega productions, with over 100 performers from 28 countries dancing, singing, and flipping across what’s actually the biggest stage in Europe. So naturally, a wardrobe to match that scale needs to be nothing less than iconic.

It’s a massive job, but if anyone can pull it off with flair, it’s Jeremy.

A Global Creative Dream Team

The show was created by Oliver Hoppmann and Berndt Schmidt, who said they wanted to bring some joy to a world that feels increasingly heavy. And honestly? Respect. We all need a little escapism these days, and what better way than through sequins, love stories, and stage magic?

Berndt Schmidt called Jeremy Scott’s life “living proof that you can live your dreams if you just believe in them.” (Cue the applause.) It’s that dreamy optimism that seems to be at the heart of the entire production.

The Legacy of the Grand Shows

Jeremy isn’t the first fashion legend to take on this role. He’s actually stepping into the (very stylish) shoes of Jean Paul Gaultier, who worked on the current show “Falling | In Love,” which is wrapping up after a nearly two-year run. So yeah, big shoes to fill—but Scott’s resume speaks for itself.

Beyond Moschino, he’s worked with everyone from Adidas to Longchamp to Swatch. You’ve probably seen his iconic teddy bear sneakers or that time he literally made cow-print high-fashion a thing. And since leaving Moschino in 2023, he’s been branching out—doing everything from skincare packaging design to film directing. Yep, the man does it all.

A €14 Million Production, No Pressure

This show isn’t just big in style—it’s big in budget. The estimated production cost is nearly €14 million, and the show is expected to run for at least a year.

Friedrichstadt-Palast is a state-run theater, owned by the City of Berlin, and it’s clear they’re investing heavily in this spectacle. If you're into fashion, theater, or even just unforgettable cultural experiences, this is going to be the thing to see in Europe.

Final Thoughts: Why You Should Keep This on Your Radar

Whether or not you’re booking a flight to Berlin this fall, this show is worth watching from afar—if not for the fashion, then for the sheer creative ambition of it all.

The Jeremy Scott Berlin show is shaping up to be part art, part performance, part fantasy—and 100% fashion fabulous.
