Breakfast at Barneys with L'Wren Scott

Creative director Adam Glassman at Barneys New York. About 20 bloggers from the likes of Fashionista, Elle, Racked, People’s Style Watch, Harper’s Bazaar, FabSugar, The Associated Press, and more gathered on the third floor along with Simon Doonan for the informative talk which began with Glassman stating that he has “never seen bloggers.” He then introduced Scott as being like bloggers because she would rather come from the back than walk the red carpet. “OK,” I thought, “should I be insulted?” I’m still not sure. That aside, Scott, who also admitted to never having seen a blogger and being “scared” [Editor's note: they make bloggers sound like Big Foot!] came across as incredibly sweet, and as a former model, it goes without saying that she’s strikingly gorgeous. 

Fun facts

Though Wikipedia states that Scott is 6 feet 5 inches, she’s actually 6 feet 3 inches. Born in Utah, the designer was discovered by Bruce Weber and worked as a model, which led to her obsession “with the details of making clothes,” and later, to her move to L.A. where she worked as a stylist and costume designer before founding her namesake brand in 2006. When working on her collections, two of the elements Scott thinks most about are proportion (given her tall physique) and color (she hates brown, telling us “it must be some hidden childhood memory about brown shoes or something.”)

The Lula handbag is about sound and structure

Scott wanted the Lula to mimic the sound her mother’s purse made when she opened and closed it, saying, “Sound was a big memory for me [when it comes to] my mom’s bag.” Adding that she associates the “whoosh” sound of her mother’s purse with getting gum, pocket money, and other special treats. In addition to sound, Scott took inspiration from the structured silhouette of the bag she remembers her mother favoring telling us that she wanted it to be “a sharp, tailored bag that you could actually use and that was practical.”

The Lula is being sold in very limited quantities

Scott who debuted a mini pochette last season is very focused on quality luxury items, which explains why her new carry-all, offered in calfskin, python, and crocodile, will be sold in very limited quantities. In fact, the exotic pieces are numbered and there are only 75 of them.
