About Stella McCartney in brief
Stella Nina McCartney OBE is an English fashion designer. She is the daughter of English singer-songwriter Sir Paul McCartney and his late wife, American photographer, musician, and animal rights activist Linda. Like her parents, McCartney is a firm supporter of animal rights and is particularly known for her use of vegetarian and animal-free alternatives in her work. McCartney became interested in designing clothes as a youth. At the age of 13, she designed her first jacket. Three years later, she interned for Christian Lacroix, working on her first haute couture collection, honing her skills working for Edward Sexton. In 1997 McCartney was named as the creative director of Chloe, a position she held until 2001. In 2001, McCartney launched a fashion house under her name, in a joint venture with Gucci Group, and presented her first collection in Paris. She now operates 51 freestanding stores in Manhattan’s Soho, London’s Mayfair, LA’s West Hollywood, Paris’s Palais Royal, Barcelona’s Passeig de Gracia, Milan, Rome, Miami and Houston, among other locations.
In January 2007, she launched a 100% organic skincare line, CARE, which includes seven products, from a cleansing milk made with lemon balm and apricot, to green tea and linden blossom floral water. She designed the reception dress worn by Meghan Markle, and later created 46 replicas of it for her wedding to Prince Harry. In October 2018, McCartney announced the launch of the \”Stella McCartney Cares Foundation\”, a charity dedicated to breast cancer. She said her father had inspired her to take the reins of her fashion empire after 17 years of partnership with Kering, purchase its stake in her company and take the reigns of her wedding collection. In April 2018, she announced a partnership with Adidas, establishing a long-term partnership with the corporation in September 2004.
