MICK JAGGER inadvertently
inspired L'Wren Scott to launch
her eponymous label. The
designer attended the 2005 Golden Globes to
support her partner, after he was nominated for (and later that evening won),
Best Original Song for Alfie's Song track Old Habits Die Hard.
A shortage of wardrobe choices inspired her to create her own dress.
"I'd avoided pretty much every other possible outing, but this, this
you kind of have to go to as the supporting other," Scott said. "I'd
made [my dress] the day before. I realised I'd been worrying about what
everybody else had to wear, but that I'd forgotten about myself. I had a yard
and half of beautiful black crêpe and I made a strapless little dress out of
that."
Scott decided that, like her, there must a market for women who wanted to
wear elegant yet simple alternatives to the "poufy and frou frou"
styles that were on offer - and launched her eponymous label in 2006. Now, in a
time when red carpet events are becoming increasingly prominent ("They'll
put a rope around the corner at a drugstore opening"), the designer
offered a few words of wisdom to any starlets worrying about their awards
season wardrobes.
"You have to feel comfortable and confident," she told The
Telegraph. "Otherwise, it might be the worst night of your
life."
