No Real Help For L’Wren Scott’s Troubles

Everyone knew L’Wren Scott’s troubles, but didn’t offer to help

By Cindy Adams

The L’Wren consensus from those close and verbose:

Professionally, her fashions were not Armani, Chanel, Oscar or Carolina.

Personally, this rear end of Mick’s chorus line was not piercing his steel ring of daughters.

Financially, she was a drain. Romantically, he was drained. As Mick Jagger’s go-to, she couldn’t survive in that rarefied air.

Savvy financially, Mick knows where every farthing of Rolling Stones money goes. He had to know her business was $2.1 mil in the hole by 2009; 2010 it was $3.6; in 2012 — $5.89 million; this year over $7 million.

He had expertise and wherewithal to help. Even if only to advise that her cost-benefit ratio was not favorable so, as have others, she should stop designing.

Then the question was, and do what? She wasn’t 22. Couldn’t take a startup job. She wasn’t anonymous. Couldn’t take a simple job. Her world was VIP/celebrity. Couldn’t retire into marriage. He wasn’t offering.

Came his Australian tour. He was wrapped up in it. He didn’t insist she accompany him.

Her stylist friends, fashion friends, p.r. friends, critic friends all say they knew she was hemorrhaging financially. Nobody helped. She saw only one way out.
