Sir Mick Jagger is “completely shocked and devastated” by the apparent suicide of his girlfriend, fashion designer L’Wren Scott, a spokesman confirmed.
Scott, aged 49, was found by her assistant in her New York City flat on Monday morning. The Rolling Stones are currently on tour in Australia while this tragic event unfolded.
Scott, born Luann Bambrough, had a challenging upbringing, raised by Mormon adoptive parents in the US state of Utah. She started her career as a model in Paris and later moved to Los Angeles to become a fashion stylist. In 2006, Scott founded her own high-end fashion label and more recently collaborated with Banana Republic to create a line of more affordable clothes.
Unfortunately, her company, LS Fashion Limited, had accumulated significant debt and owed creditors around $7.6 million (£4.6 million) as of December 2012. Despite this,
Scott’s talent and innovation in the fashion industry were widely acknowledged. She dressed numerous A-list celebrities like Nicole Kidman, Oprah Winfrey, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Angelina Jolie for red carpet events. Scott also worked as a costume consultant for films including Ocean’s Thirteen and Eyes Wide Shut.
The fashion world has been quick to pay tribute to Scott, highlighting her exceptional skill in costume design. Madonna, who was a great admirer of Scott’s work, expressed her sadness at the tragedy.
Designer Marc Jacobs took to Twitter to remember Scott, saying, “Rest in peace, L’Wren Scott. You’ll forever be missed.” The Chief Executive Officer of the Council of Fashion Designers of America, Steven Colb, described her as a talented and beautiful person, and extended his sympathy to her loved ones.
Bianca Jagger, one of Mick Jagger’s former wives, also expressed her heartbreak and sent her thoughts and prayers to Scott’s family. Pop band Duran Duran added their condolences, saying it was such sad news and sending support to Scott’s family and friends.
As the investigation into Scott’s death continues, police are treating it as a suicide, although the official cause of death is yet to be determined. The news of Scott’s passing came just a month after she had to cancel a show at London Fashion Week due to production delays. Scott’s impact on the fashion industry was significant, and her loss is deeply felt by her colleagues and friends.
In conclusion, the sudden and tragic loss of L’Wren Scott has sent shockwaves through the fashion world and deeply affected Sir Mick Jagger. Scott’s talent, creativity, and contributions to the industry will be sorely missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her loved ones during this difficult time. May she rest in peace.
