Her clothes really are beautiful. She had an extremely good eye. I would say she was as good if not better than the big name designers, who seem to me to have gone downmarket in recent years, almost without exception. Her death is first and foremost a terrible personal tragedy, but she is also a great loss to the fashion world.

[@fairygodmomma2313]

Is been 8 years, still seems like yesterday... She really was brilliant and a force to be reckoned with. 🕊️RIP L'wren Scott🕊️

[@jasminflowerz1710]

That woman was tall, elegant, talented, intelligent, beautiful....the complete package....a keeper. I wonder what could've been so horrible in her life to make her want to end it. Supposedly, her financial woes had taken its toll...and was too embarrassed to ask for help or let close ones in on it. There could be more to it than anyone knows, like a setup or something.

[@fitzcaraldozito]

That's very naïve to think she has comitted suicide because of Money.. I think the fact she wanted a child with Mick and he didn't want to, is a better reason..

[@R.Oates7902]

​@@fitzcaraldozito She could have committed suicide for any number of reasons. She only knows. I'm sorry she's gone. RIP 🕊 L'Wren Scott

[@LaviniaWatson-d5e]

[@msbcheet6041]

What an exceptional beautiful lady. A terrible terrible loss. RIP.

[@TheKofinyarko]

RIP Beautiful sister

[@guitarlover302]

How absolutely awful ! A terrible tragedy !! What a beautiful , elegant articulate women - condolences to Mick and her family and friends RIP

[@jenniferprice4697]

I'm sad this genius passed on((

[@Vogue1306]

Why would she do that? She was so elegant, so beautiful... Rip:(

[@veronicalawrence5725]

Mental illness is not about how you look.

[@yoya4766]

Her mannerisms and way of speaking is exactly like Jerry Hall. A type Mick?

[@Methilde]

She seems smarter and more sophisticated than Jerry Hall.

[@user-wb2yv7ll9d]

I agree there are similarities to Jerry and L'Wren.

[@jenniferprice4697]

Smart lady

[@Ferryville91]

[@jannalli7]

RIP =( Very sad...

[@ConstantineJoseph]

Hmm, I really doubt she committed suicide. She's a successful owner of a business. She has so much things on her hands, unless its financial issues I highly doubt it is suicide.

[@ss2ab]

I thought her business was millions in debt?

[@inlight2024]

Rip

[@anonnode8988]

Maybe it just dawned on her that the life she leads and the environment she works is so utterly competely shallow, vain, narcissistic and pointless while every minute we breathe there are children dying for no other reason than their geographic location.

[@53cateye1]

Maybe... certainly a vacuous tiny world view.

[@veronicalawrence5725]

Well you have clearly never suffered from depression.......dont make comments like this if you have never suffered from depression. Good God you people who have never suffered from depression and make comments like this really irritate me so much. Hope you never experience it

[@8mysteryjo]

Lovely, talented woman. Love her choice of colors, and super sleek/feminine classic lines. So sad she is no longer around to contribute her obvious gifts to the world.

[@gabrielabarros2036]

Mick didn't deserve her

[@bankerguy66]

What a fantastic designer! Damn....

[@TheJoshwallace]

RIP, tall and beautiful woman

[@lizabelle6297]

RIP-What a horrible loss!!! Her clothes are so beautiful and so was she. I can't understand how she was that much in debt.

[@InsaneNuYawka]

I can ! Did you hear how many times she literally said 23k gold ??? There’s a reason faux finishes exist. Sadly , these were not coats she could recuperate despite her vision and what’s worse is that she did not see her life as being valued more than that debt ...

[@dmartini429]

Beautiful collection...my favorite part was when L'Wren says when you notice the beauty of the girl you did the job. Now that's a class act!

[@gabrielabarros2036]

She had such a great voice

[@LucasPenido]

Amazing. May her soul rest in peace.

[@awesomelylaysa]

She was in debt for 6 million & was going to announce next week that her business was closing, so maybe expanding was her downfall?

[@Gardeniasf9]

She was such a beautiful, graceful woman. :(

[@shannaquek3178]

Rip

[@bonzelite]

I'm not buying the story that she killed herself. She was expanding and growing. Suicide does not fit the picture here.

[@pauldo4]

so? just cause she was successful doesnt mean she wasnt suffering from a mental illness like depression, anyone can have it and my guess is she wasnt dealing with it very well or getting the right help, and thats really sad

[@TREYOLDHIPPIE]

Yes. It happens to people you know well. Not everyone admits they feel sad or lost. She was supposedly something of a perfectionist. But I can attest, you don't always know when someone close is struggling. I doubt that any suicide meant to leave forever, or hurt people that love them deeply. I know deprssion is not always cured by counseling. And medications are just beginning to help some who never could take antidepressants before. There are resources now that are free if one has no way to pay. For counsel and medication. Depression is very common. Its just begining to be accepted by those who don't have it. Yes, I am clinically depressed and have lost 2 members of my family to it.

[@bonzelite]

I understand the comments. My dad attempted suicide twice but he was overtly depressed. This woman apparently hid it well. I had female friend last year kill herself as well. She could hide it but at times she couldn't. And some others can totally hide their depression. L'Wren had to be "on" all the time as she was a type of niche celebrity and had to face the public all the time. So her "game face" was all we saw.

[@ss2ab]

Doesn't seem like a good idea to expand when the business is in debt.If there was any money after the debts were paid off, why did she leave it to an unfaithful man like Mick?

[@oscarcat1231]

Agreed. I don’t buy many so called suicides. Many of them are bumped off, blood sacrifices etc if you know about 33 degree freemasonry which pervades all areas of politics, media, sport, TV/Film, music industry etc etc

[@rtdnan]

Another Illuminati Hit.......If it isn't the celebrity that's knocked off, then it's someone close to them.

[@InsaneNuYawka]

???

[@dgray9020]

Rest In Paradise, L 'Wren.

[@turnbacktime6618]

RIP L'Wren Scott

[@expo1706]

Seems she was a very talented fashion designer. I didn't know anything concerning her and her work until now after her death. Very sad. Goes to show again that fashion, wealth, and a life of luxury doesn't bring one happiness. Things can always topple for anyone. If you don't have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and aren't obedient to God, it doesn't matter how much wealth you have or how little of it you have. When you put your hope in businesses and wealth, you have everything to loose and can't take any of it with you. When you put your hope and life in Jesus Christ, you have everything you need. Also it's so important to have good, healthy relationships with people who really know and love you unconditionally and are Godly people. We all need to be loved. Shows what a superficial world we live in when their are people who feel that this course (suicide) is there only option. We all need to love more and be obedient to God and His call on our lives. Maybe we can save a life before it's too late.

[@skygazer6898]

I dont usually like designers collection on the cat walk, but L'Wren's are something else. Classy, beautiful and stunning.

[@dianaloren51]

anyone knows who's l'wren scott boyfriend(s) in 1990s?

[@Methilde]

A designer but not a real "Haute Couture" creator like Americans in general.

[@CuddlesTheCatOfficial]

brilliant collection

[@helencampbell2028]

The collection was stunning. Wearable clothes when you are invited to somewhere special. What a shame she was suffering from depression. Such a waste. R.I.P Lovely lady.🌹🌹🌹

[@CyndyNeg]

hope you are in Peace now....

[@mummybunny331]

Babies, how can U be so divine to stage Ur own death ? She was Lovely, surely she was big enough to know "in the basement bargain, ± where making fashion is at;" My Daddy done the same thing ,age 39,l leaving 4 kids.....was Sir Mick to blame ?

[@cuddlybear9041]

there was a famous actor called George sanders, usually played the English gentleman type of roles, when George was a young man he said when I get older I will commit suicide, he was once married to zsa zsa gabor and she adored him anyway when George got older he went to a hotel room and killed himself, he left a note which said something like, goodbye world you bore me.............. true story !

[@Methilde]

Great comedian.
