Where does L’Wren nest? Somewhere high up and sequestered, with a view over treetops—when she’s in Paris, that is. This turn-of-the-century Left Bank apartment is just one of the homes the American fashion designer L’Wren Scott has put together for life with her rock-’n’-roll legend partner, Mick Jagger. And the serene, delicately airy atmosphere is about as far from glitzy rock-star louche as could be imagined.
L'Wren has taken her time getting it done—to perfectionist standards that might easily drive a decorator to open one of the many south-facing windows and jump. The lofty high-ceilinged drawing room, with its original moldings, forties chandeliers, and long parade of shot taffeta–curtained windows, appears on this early spring day to be painted a lovely pale dove-grey. “I took nine months choosing paint, seeing what looked good on bright days, wintry days, in summer, at night.” She had the flowing curtains dyed by the same silk manufacturers she uses to whip up (or rather drape and sculpt with fanatical care for the view from every angle) her signature taffeta evening dresses.
The epitome of Parisian chic, I need an apartment in Pars, an exact replica of this beautiful space, for that matter. rachel xo
