L'Wren Scott to be honoured with designer award

New York - An award honouring emerging fashion designers has been named for L'Wren Scott.

The award was created by The Art of Elysium, an organisation that brings the arts to hospitalised children. The L'Wren Scott Amber Award honours both Scott, who committed suicide on 17 March, and Amber, a child who had a brain tumor and who participated in The Art of Elysium's fashion workshops for hospitalised kids.

The venture was announced on Thursday by the New York company that handled the 49-year-old designer's public relations, PR Consulting.

Meanwhile, various media outlets reported that Scott's will left her $8m Manhattan condo and her other personal possessions to her boyfriend, Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger.
