L’Wren Scott photographed for ES magazine to celebrate 150 years of the Tuxedo — April, 2012 {excerpt from the article below}
—— “I made my first tuxedo when I was 12. I re-cut a beautiful vintage suit to make the legs long enough for me because I was so tall. I would wear the trousers and jacket separately to school and the full look to family events where no one would ever ask me where my outfit was from because I'd been making my own clothes for years.
—— The tuxedo and I have always had a thing. I used to live on a street called Tuxedo Terrace in Hollywood. It was a drive-by purchase, I fell in love with the house without knowing the name of the street. I wrote a cheque for the deposit on the spot and as I was driving away I asked my friend what the street was called and she said Tuxedo Terrace. I knew right there and then it was going to be my house.
—— A tuxedo is still one of my fashion staples and I've included a smoking look in each of my collections - I work on a new version every season and I've now designed everything from a leather tuxedo to a tuxedo jumpsuit. I have a blood-red tuxedo that I've worn on many occasions, it's very seductive because it's unexpected. Marlene Dietrich made the tuxedo iconic for women but before her, during the Prohibition era, women were already rebelling against the corset. It took a few brave pioneers to push us in that direction.” -As told to ES Magazine (2012)
