Description

hristian Lacroix, working on his first haute couture collection, honing her skills working for Edward Sexton, her father\'s Savile Row tailor for a number of years.She studied her foundation at Ravensbourne College of Design and Communication, fashion design at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in the early 1990s. Her graduation collection in 1995 was modelled by friends and supermodels Naomi Campbell, Yasmin Le Bon and Kate Moss – for free – at the graduation runway show. The collection was shown to a song penned by her famous father, called \"Stella May Day.\" The show made front-page news, and the entire collection was sold to Tokio, a London boutique. The designs were licensed to Browns, Joseph, Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus. In 1998, she designed her sister Mary\'s wedding dress for her wedding to television producer Alistair Donald.A lifelong vegetarian, Stella McCartney does not use any leather or fur in her designs. She supports PETA. Some of McCartney\'s designs have text that elaborates on her \"no animal\" policy; for example, one of her jackets for Adidas says, \"suitable for sporty vegetarians\" on the sleeve. Stella does use wool, silk, and other animal-derived fabrics in her designs.In March 1997 McCartney was appointed Creative Director of Paris fashion house Chloé, following in the footsteps of Karl Lagerfeld. Lagerfeld was less than impressed with the house\'s choice, stating, \"Chloé should have taken a big name. They did, but in music, not fashion. Let\'s hope she\'s as gifted as her father.\" Despite initial skepticism, McCartney\'s designs have enjoyed considerable commercial and critical success. She was accompanied to Chloé by her assistant and friend Phoebe Philo, who later replaced her as design director.In 2001, Stella McCartney launched her own fashion house under her name in a joint venture with Gucci Group (now Kering) and showed her first collection in Paris. Stella McCartney now operates 17 freestanding stores in locations including Manhattan’s Soho, London’s Mayfair, LA’s West Hollywood, Paris’ Palais Royal, Barcelona\'s Passeig de Gracia and Milan, and recently opened doors in Rome and Miami. Her collections are now distributed in over 50 countries through 600 wholesale accounts including specialty shops and department stores.
