AT BALLET, "I WAS LIKE, MY LEG DOESN'T LOOK LONG ENOUGH." THIS IS WHERE SHE FIRST UNDERSTOOD YOU COULD PAIR A NUDE SHOE WITH A BLACK DRESS TO MAKE THAT LEG LOOK EVEN LONGER.

When solicited for their opinion, guys always go for the dress or the jacket with a clearly defined waistline, she's noticed: "Guys understand a waistline. They understand a silhouette." That floaty shift? Save it for lunch with your girlfriends. "I dress for men," she announces, those brown button eyes suddenly boring holes. "I have to feel good, you know what I mean?". Here's what she's learned from working with such actresses as Sarah Jessica Parker, Penélope Cruz, and Nicole Kidman, who industry yardbirds like to say made her: "You'll see the most perfect person and you are like, God, she's, like, perfect. And then she'll tell you everything that's not perfect. Everyone has their own special set of problems--in their own minds." The gig, she insists, "is 98 percent psychology."
On Saturdays, Scott and Jagger will get in the car and go explore castles and churches. She's driven down driveways, hoping to find no one at home so she can poke around. There are rules: "If the shutters are open, you generally know somebody's there."




A knock on the door. Time to get going. The shutters on this marvelous life swing closed.
All her life, Scott has been a student of the "silhouette."Of course, she herself is all silhouette. Men and women alike are intimidated by her silhouette. She knows this. When she and Jagger pull up in front of the paparazzi, she adjusts the silhouette, bending at the knee to even things out. It is the only time she'll compromise her innate grace, like a dancer who in a reversal of the sex roles desires only to make her partner look his best. What a woman will do for her man.With a cult following for her body-con dresses, the willowy designer proves she’s much more than just Mick Jagger’s girlfriend.



If you still haven't found your favorite brand, L'wren Scott might be it, only available at Sophie's Choice :)
