Fashion designer L'Wren Scott, the girlfriend of Mick Jagger, has been found dead in her
New York apartment in an apparent suicide. It's reported that the 47 year old, who's
a former model, was found hanging from a scarf in her apartment in the early hours of the
17th of March. A spokesperson for Mick Jagger, who she had dated for 13 years, said he is
"completely shocked and devastated" by the news. As well as being known as the partner
of the famous rolling stones' singer, L'wren Scott had established a name in her own right.
She founded her own fashion label in 2006 and her designs were favourites among Hollywood
stars including Amy Adams and Penelope Cruz.
Born Luann Bambrough, L'wren was raised in the US state of Utah and began her career
as a model in Paris, before moving to Los Angeles to become a fashion stylist.
Hollywood stars have paid tribute to the 6 foot 3 beauty with Bette Midler describing
her as a rare, wonderful and talented soul while designer Marc Jacobs wrote that she
would forever be missed.
