Stella McCartney – A Life Long Vegetarian, born 13 September 1971.
She was born and raised in the English countryside of Notting Hill, also in London town. Stella McCartney graduated from London’s Central St Martin’s College of Art and Design in the year of 1995 were her signature style of ‘sharp tailoring, sexy femininity and natural confidence’ was immediately apparent from her first collection. McCartney was appointed the Creative Director of Chloe Fashion House in Paris France in 1997 and saw great success while apart of the venture there.
In the year of 2001 Stella McCartney launched her own fashion house, with the help of the Gucci Group and showed her first collection in Paris in October later that year. One thing I greatly admire is that she does not use any leather or fur in any of her collections. She has a strong eco- friendly design aesthetic that promotes caring for the wildlife and making fashion “green.” She has a particular capsule line which caters for organics. A seasonal collection which is a special project with all the materials alternatively sourced and keeping her designs and new ideas true to what she believes in. Her collections include women’s ready-to-wear, accessories, lingerie, eyewear, fragrance and organic skincare.
With operations of 16 worldwide stores including flagship boutiques, her collections are now distributed in over 50 countries through 600 wholesale accounts including specialty shops and departments stores.
Stella McCartney isn’t just a Fashion Designer, or daughter of famous musician Paul McCartney, she’s an activist to learn from. After reading Stella's helpful tips from her website, I too want to help in any way I can...
