• “Shortly before guests arrived for L’Wren Scott’s dinner on Sunday evening at Café Royal, Nicole Kidman appeared at a London screening of her new film ‘Stoker’ in the designer’s cobalt wool dress with a gold collar, the same look shown that afternoon on Ms. Scott’s runway. … The rest of Ms. Scott’s collection displayed a sure-footed sense of what gets attention.” [On The Runway/The New York Times]
• “Even though L’Wren Scott knew what her clothes looked like when she booked the grand hall of the Institute of Engineers for her show venue, the symbiosis of location and collection was one of those perfect synchronicities where the whole added up to much more than the sum of its parts.” [Style.com]
