Georgia May Jagger has pulled out of Melbourne Fashion Festival following the death of fashion designer L'Wren Scott, long-term partner of her father Sir Mick Jagger.
The 22-year-old had been set to walk the runway at a Camilla Franks showcase on Wednesday (March 19), but has stepped down after Scott was found hanged in her Manhattan apartment yesterday (March 17).
A spokesperson for Australian designer Franks said: "In light of the recent sad news, Georgia May Jagger will not be participating in Virgin Australia Melbourne Fashion Festival for the Camilla Grand Showcase.
"We ask that you respect Ms Jagger and her family's privacy at this very difficult time.
"On behalf of the Festival and the Camilla team, we offer our sincere condolences to Ms Jagger and her family."
Georgia is the daughter of Rolling Stones star Mick and his ex-wife Jerry Hall, but had a close relationship with Scott, who begun dating the musician in 2001.
The Rolling Stones have cancelled a concert, also scheduled in Australia on Wednesday, in the wake of the tragedy.
A statement on the Facebook page of the tour's promoters read: "Frontier Touring and Concerts West regret to announce that The Rolling Stones concert in Perth will not be going ahead as scheduled for Wednesday 19 March 2014.
"No further information is available at this time, ticket holders are asked to hold on to their tickets until a further update is available."
A spokesperson for Scott issued the following statement to Digital Spy yesterday afternoon: "We confirm the tragic death of L'Wren Scott.
"At this devastating time for Ms Scott's family and friends, we request that their privacy be respected. There will be no further public statement for the time being."
The chief medical examiner's office is yet to determine a cause of death, but sources have said that police do not suspect foul play.
