6′ 4″ tall L’Wren Scott designed and made her own clothes as a teenager. She went to Paris and was a model for Chanel and Thierry Mugler. She then graduated to making costumes for film and styling A-list celebrities. She has her own unique style, creates beautiful clothes and is a big fan of heels.

I heart bespoke tailoring

Bianca Jagger’s white suit she wore for her wedding in 1971 is iconic.  It was made by legendary Saville Row tailor Tommer Nutter.  He has made suits for the Rolling Stones, Yoko Ono and Elton John and many more.  With Saville Row you are paying for the prestige and `By Appointments` above the door, expect to pay between £1,000 and £2,500.  If your budget can stretch to bespoke tailoring, remember there are very talented tailors up and down the country, in every major city- they are not just confined to one famous street in London.  Always go to someone who has been recommended.  Expect to pay approximately £1,000 for suit that could last you 20 years because of the craftsmanship and fine quality materials used.  If you get a timeless style, rather like a Chanel Suit - you’ll wear it again and again.

I heart breezing around in corn fields..
