One of the saddest moments of 2014 was when news broke that L’Wren Scott––designer, stylist, model, and beloved figure of the fashion world––had committed suicide at the age of 46. For some, she was known as the girlfriend of Mick Jagger, whom she towered over at six foot three. For others she was the physical embodiment of glamour. Nicole Phelps said in a tribute on Style.com, “I found the designer L’Wren Scott almost impossibly glamorous during our encounters, her perfectionism encompassing not only her imposing six foot three appearance, but also her surroundings.” Tim Blanks wrote, “She had the unflappable calm of a film noir femme fatale, never a hair out of place, knife-edge precise in her sharply tailored clothes, with the Mojave-dry drollery to match.” Here are some tributes from around the web:

“Her old world American manners and charm were from another time, but her sensibility was always fiercely modern.”

Anna Wintour, Vogue

“Despite her Amazonian height and courtesan-like glamour, L’Wren could rapidly close the distance to another human being.”

Cathy Horyn, The New York Times

“She had great presence and her talent was much admired, not least by me.”
