L’Wren Scott fashion auction evokes brother’s memories of the late designer to the stars

Randy Bambrough says his sister, the late fashion designer L’Wren Scott from Roy, would be happy to see some of her best works auctioned for arts education.

Rock star Mick Jagger established the L’Wren Scott Scholarship at Central Saint Martins in London after the death of his longtime partner in 2014. On Wednesday, Christie’s of London is opening a 55-lot auction of what it describes as Scott’s most important pieces, including two stage jackets she designed for Jagger. Proceeds go to the scholarship.

“I think she’d be very honored by this,” Bambrough, who grew up with Scott in Roy, said in an interview Tuesday. “She had no formal education in design. Hers is all self-taught. She was an ultimate teacher, who tried to pass on the craft after she learned it through the school of hard knocks. This would very much please her.”

Scott and Bambrough came of age in a home near Roy Junior High and their upbringing was “very much middle-class America,” he said.
