Fans of L’Wren Scott will be overjoyed to hear that her new collaboration with Banana Republic has resulted in more affordable versions of her exquisite designs. This collaboration is the first Scott has done with a mainstream fashion retailer.
The L’Wren Scott label boasts high-end designs loved by celebrities such as Michelle Obama and Nicole Kidman, where an evening dress is $1,500 a pop. This Banana Republic collaboration results in the best of both worlds being affordable, ranging from $39·90 to $165, still showing Ms Scott’s beautiful æsthetic.
L’Wren Scott, herself, is featured in the advertisements for this collaboration in an attempt to show that her designs are figure-flattering at any age. She stated: ‘You don’t need to wear Spanx if you buy my clothes. The dress, the trousers, the pencil skirt, they should do the work.’
Many celebrities attended the opening including red-haired bombshell Christina Hendricks, pop-star Kesha and Scott’s boyfriend of 12 years, Rolling Stones front man Mick Jagger. Jagger was extremely supportive of the collection, complimenting her figure-hugging silhouettes and ‘zesty’ colours. In the video below, he is almost as comprehensive as a fashion reporter. Coco Rocha, Jaimie Alexander (see Lucire issue 30), Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Rashida Jones, Jessica Paré, Stacy Keibler, Louise Roe, Kelly Lynch and Mitch Glazer, Judy Greer, Langley Fox Hemingway, Arianna Rockefeller, Sophie Kennedy Clark, Katie Aselton, and Gillian Jacob also attended.
The collection includes body-conscious party dresses, tailored blazers and printed trousers. Banana Republic was a logical collaboration for Scott as she mentioned that she grew up shopping there. Get behind this new-and-exciting collaboration available in-store and online from December 5.—Anna Deans
