I
was driving along in the car and listening to the radio when I heard the news
of L’Wren
Scott’s death. I wasn’t to know it was L’Wren Scott for some
time, as the headline and the next few sentences didn’t even mention her name.
She was simply ‘Mick Jagger’s girlfriend’.
I
admit that I had not heard of the 49 year-old designer before but if the news
sources are going to put out a bulletin about someone’s death then surely they
ought to dignify her with a name? Her main claim to fame may well be that she
had a famous partner, but surely she deserves to be defined in her own right?
Scott dressed many of the rich and famous. She was a highly successful and
respected
