L’Wren Scott photographed by Ian Harrison for The Times Style wearing her SS 2011 collection.
From the article: “It was largely born of irritation that she would find a designer skirt or a dress that she liked, then panic when after a season or two she couldn’t get it any more. She’d call shops that might have old stock, desperately trying to find a new version of an old favorite. She wanted to be a designer who gave that continuity to other people who, like her, yearned for it. She also wanted to design the sort of clothes she wanted but couldn’t get.
{…} She sewed most of them herself and fitted them on herself, on the basis that only if she understood what worked on her would she be able to make clothes that worked on other women too. “I didn’t have a fit-model waiting in an atelier with 20 stitchers and 10 pattern-makers. I didn’t want anything extravagant; I would have hated that. If I can do something myself, I like to do it myself I do all the fittings myself. I go to the workrooms. I go to the factories.” — as told to Hilary Rose
