Mick Jagger Establishes Fashion Scholarship Fund in Memory of L'Wren Scott

Mick Jagger wants his longtime partner L’Wren Scott’s legacy to live on. The Rolling Stones frontman has established a three-year scholarship fund at London-based school Central Saint Martins in honor of the late designer

...

“I am very grateful to receive this extremely generous scholarship package, gifted by Mick Jagger in L’Wren Scott’s name,” Course Director Fabio Piras, said in a statement, via WWD. “Our students sacrifice much to take up this course and work extremely hard when they are here. I am proud of the fact that this course … continues to be recognized as a major contributor to the future of the global fashion industry.”

The scholarship (for students enrolled in the school’s MA fashion program) will begin in October and will cover all the fees for one student each year, over the course of three years.

Scott, who was famous for dressing stars like Sarah Jessica Parker and Nicole Kidman, committed suicide in March. She was 49.

“She had great presence and her talent was much admired, not least by me,” Jagger said in a statement after her sudden death. “I have been touched by the tributes that people have paid to her, and also the personal messages of support that I have received.”

Thats great!! I was a life studies model throughout college and after in NY at Parsons, F.I.T. and Pratt. I know these school ain't cheap. My nephew went to Fashion Institute( way after i did any work there) and said he got so much from the school. He now designs mens suits in Palm Springs. A scholarship such as this (or any kind) can really help aspiring talents.

A very nice tribute to L'Wren. MICK has a heart, and I believe a piece of his heart is broken. This is a way to heal it and relieve any regrets by giving back and helping others.

How does this help album sales?
It's a shrewd move but I can't connect the dots...

I agree, as an educator and eternal student, what a great gift and tribute. 

PA, are you in the fashion or art world today?
