Tall girl inspiration

I've mentioned before in this blog (March 2014), how I adored L'Wren Scott.

I recently came across this photo of her, taken alongside the diminutive SJP, and it makes me smile every time I look at it. 

Whatever the sad circumstances of her suicide, I want to remember her in this moment. 

Look how confidently she is standing! How cool is she? 6 ft 3inches in her bare feet; but still choosing to wear stilettos. 

How I loved her style!

And I admired how she created an incredibly glamorous life for herself - despite the humblest of beginnings - and by all accounts still remained kind and empathetic and generous of spirit. 

Named LuAnn by her adoptive parents, she had grown up in Utah. At 18, she was discovered by photographer Bruce Weber and became a model, and later a stylist. 

It was with this background and training in fashion that she went on to found her own successful fashion label - renowned for deceptively simple and elegantly streamlined clothing that belied the complicated structure underneath.

RIP L'Wren Scott.

You'll be remembered as an inspiration to tall girls everywhere.
