Fashion Designer LWren Scott Found Dead In NYC Apartment LWren Scott, a noted fashion designer who has been Mick Jaggers companion for more than a decade, was found dead in her New York apartment Monday of an apparent suicide, according to a law enforcement official familiar with the investigation. She was 49. Scotts assistant found the designer hanging from a door knob with a scarf around her neck, the official said. There were no signs of forced entry, and police did not find a suicide note, the official said. A spokesman for Mick Jagger said that the singer was completely shocked and devastated by the news. Scott had been dating Jagger, 70, since at least 2003. Shet had dressed actresses such as Nicole Kidman, Oprah Winfrey, Sarah Jessica Parker and Angelina Jolie for red carpet events and was a costume consultant for films including Oceans Thirteen and Eyes Wide Shut. She also created many of Jaggers looks for the Rolling Stones 50th anniversary tour, which began in 2012 and is currently in Australia. The band called off Wednesday nights show in Perth, following the news. Scott, born Luann Bambrough, was raised by Mormon adoptive parents in the US state of Utah. She began her career as a model in Paris, then moved to Los Angeles to become a fashion stylist, according to a biography on her companys website. Scott founded her own high-end fashion label in 2006 and recently created a more affordable line of clothes with Banana Republic. According to its last UK filing her firm, LS Fashion Limited, owed creditors about $7.6m (£4.6m), as of 31 December 2012. It had assets of $1.7m. She was said to be 6ft 3in (1.9m) tall, towering over her rock legend partner.
