Stella Nina McCartney CBE (born 13 September 1971) is an English fashion designer. She is a daughter of British singer-songwriter Paul McCartney and the American photographer and animals rights activist Linda McCartney.[1] Like her parents, McCartney is a supporter of animal rights and environmentalism, and uses vegetarian and animal-free alternatives in her work. Since 2005, she has designed an activewear collection for Adidas.

Early life[edit]

Wings arriving in Finland, August 1972: Linda McCartney is seen carrying baby Stella

McCartney was born on 13 September 1971 at King's College Hospital in Camberwell, London.[2] She is named after her maternal great-grandmothers (both of Linda's grandmothers were named Stella). Her mother, Linda Eastman McCartney, was of Jewish ancestry.[3][4][5] As a girl, McCartney travelled the globe with her parents and their group Wings, along with her siblings: older half-sister Heather (who was legally adopted by Paul), older sister Mary, and younger brother James. According to her father, the name Wings was inspired by Stella's difficult delivery.[6] As his daughter was being born by emergency caesarean section, Paul sat outside the operating room and prayed that she would be born 'on the wings of an angel'.[6]

Despite their fame, the McCartneys wanted their children to live as normal a life as possible, so Stella and her siblings attended local state schools in East Sussex, one of them being Bexhill College. McCartney has said that while attending state school, she was a victim of bullying[7] yet she had been a bully herself.[8]

Career[edit]

Beginning[edit]

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 while working for Edward Sexton (her father's Savile Row tailor) for a number of years.

McCartney studied her foundation at Ravensbourne College of Design and Communication, followed by fashion design at Central Saint Martins in the early 1990s, graduating in 1995. Her graduation collection was modelled for free by friends and supermodels Naomi Campbell, Yasmin Le Bon and Kate Moss, at the graduation runway show, presented to a song especially written by her father, "Stella May Day".[9]

A lifelong vegetarian, McCartney uses no leather or fur in her designs. The Guardian described her in 2015 as a 'consistent and vocal' supporter of animal rights[10].[11]Some of McCartney's designs have text that elaborates on her 'no animal' policy; one of her Adidas jackets carries a sleeve that says 'suitable for sporty vegetarians'. A pair of her vinyl and ultrasuede boots were marketed specifically as vegan-friendly, though her use of oil-based synthetics still raised ecological concerns.[12]

Rise to prominence and continued success[edit]

In 1997, McCartney was named the creative director of Chloé,[13] a position she held until 2001.

Stella McCartney's store in West Hollywood

In 2001, McCartney launched a fashion house under her name, in a joint venture with Gucci Group (now Kering), 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.[14]

In 2003, McCartney launched her first perfume, Stella. 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.[15]

In 2008, McCartney launched a new lingerie line with Bendon Group.[16] In November 2010, the Stella McCartney Kids collection was launched for newborns and children up to age 12.[17]

Stella McCartney's store in Passeig de Gràcia, Barcelona In June 2012, McCartney invited the Soul Rebels Brass Band to perform at her 2013 spring fashion presentation at the New York Marble Cemetery in New York City. Other guests invited to the party included Anne Hathaway, Jim Carrey, Anna Wintour, Annie Leibovitz, Lauren Hutton, Amy Poehler, Solange Knowles, P'Trique, Greta Gerwig and André Leon Talley. Also in 2012, McCartney was part of The Sustainable Fashion Handbook.[18]

In November 2016, McCartney launched her first menswear collection, made up of many athleisure, pyjama-like casual outfits.[19] She said her father and comedian Jethro inspired the collection.[20]

In April 2018, after 17 years of partnership with Kering, McCartney purchased its stake in her company and took full control of her global fashion empire.[21] The following year, she signed a strategic partnership with LVMH.[22] She designed the wedding reception dress worn by Meghan Markle, and later created 46 replicas of it (23 in lily white and 23 in onyx black) for her "Made With Love" capsule collection, each priced at £3,500.[23]

On 15 October 2018, McCartney launched the Stella McCartney Cares Foundation, a charity dedicated to breast cancer. (McCartney's mother Linda died of breast cancer in 1998.) The charity aimed to donate 1,000 of the brand's Louis Listening post-operative mastectomy compression bras to women undergoing breast cancer treatment.[24]

On 21 November 2021, McCartney launched "The Beatles: Get Back" a collection inspired by the Beatles.[25]

In 2023, McCartney performed a spoken word piece at the Coronation Concert, to mark the coronation of Charles III and Camilla.[26]

Collaborations[edit]

"Stella McCartney"–branded dress worn by Caroline Wozniacki at the 2010 US Open

McCartney launched a joint-venture line with Adidas, establishing a long-term partnership with the corporation in September 2004. This was a sports performance collection for women.[27]

In January 2010, McCartney announced she would be collaborating with Disney to create a jewellery collection inspired by Alice in Wonderland.[28] In July of the same year, together with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and eco-designer Atom cianfarani, McCartney worked to petition the British Ministry of Defence to cease the use of Canadian Black Bears as the fur for their guards' hats; the military is yet to make the change.[29]

In July 2011, McCartney participated at the catwalk of The Brandery fashion show in Barcelona.[30]

In December 2018, McCartney announced the launch of a new fashion industry charter for climate action, in collaboration with the United Nations, to help fashion companies welcome sustainable business practices.[31]

In August 2019, American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift teamed up with McCartney to release a fashion line inspired by Swift's seventh studio album Lover, the project carrying the title "Stella X Taylor Swift".[32]

Team GB[edit]

In September 2010, McCartney was appointed Team GB's Creative Director for the 2012 Olympics by Adidas – the first time in the games' history that a leading fashion designer designed the apparel for a country's team across all competitions for both the Olympic and the Paralympic Games.[33] In March 2012, the Team GB kit was publicly displayed.[33] McCartney continued in this role for the 2016 Summer Olympics.[34]

Honours, awards and media[edit]

McCartney received the VH1/Vogue Designer of the Year award in 2000 in New York. Her father Paul presented the award to her; she thanked him in her acceptance speech and dedicated the award to her late mother Linda.[35] This was followed by the Woman of Courage Award for work against cancer at the prestigious Unforgettable Evening event (2003, Los Angeles), the Glamour Award for Best Designer of the Year (2004, London), the Star Honoree at the Fashion Group International Night of the Stars (2004, New York), the Organic Style Woman of the Year Award (2005, New York), the Elle Style Award for Best Designer of the Year Award (2007, London), Best Designer of the Year at the British Style Awards (2007, London), Best Designer of The Year at the Spanish Elle Awards (2008, Barcelona), and the Green Designer of the Year at the ACE Awards (2008, New York).

In 2009, she was honoured by the NRDC, featured in the Time 100 and recognised as Glamour Woman of the Year. In November 2011, she was presented with the Red Carpet Award by the British Fashion Council; and in the 2013 New Year Honours, she was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for services to fashion.[36][37]

In 2012, McCartney was among the British cultural icons selected by artist Sir Peter Blake to appear in a new version of his artwork – the album cover for The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band – to celebrate the British cultural figures of his life that he most admires.[38] In February 2013 she was assessed as one of the 100 most powerful women in the United Kingdom by Woman's Hour on BBC Radio 4.[39]

In June 2017, McCartney appeared on BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs, selecting "Road to Nowhere" by Talking Heads and "Blackbird" by the Beatles, and her favourite "God Only Knows" by the Beach Boys.[40] She would later receive the Special Recognition Award for Innovation at the 2017 Fashion Awards[41]

She was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2022 Birthday Honours in recognition of her services to fashion and sustainability.[42][43][44]

Personal life[edit]

McCartney married British publisher Alasdhair Willis on 30 August 2003 at Mount Stuart House on the Isle of Bute. Her wedding dress was an updated version of her mother's wedding dress from 1969.[45] Willis works as creative director of shoewear brand Adidas.

McCartney and Willis have four children:[46] sons Miller Alasdhair James Willis (born 2005)[47] and Beckett Robert Lee Willis (born 2008)[48] and daughters Bailey Linda Olwyn Willis (born 2006)[49][50] and Reiley Dilys Stella Willis (born 2010).[51] Her children appeared with her on the cover of Vogue.[52]

McCartney has a younger half-sister, Beatrice Milly McCartney, born on 28 October 2003 to her father and his second wife, Heather Mills.[53]

In 2018, McCartney said: "When my mum died, Dad, my brother and I went to see the Maharishi... I had quite a reaction that I didn't feel in control of. I possibly suppressed my emotions and I started having panic attacks, physical reactions to that loss." She said that transcendental meditation made an almost instantaneous difference in her ability to cope, stating: "It really did help me at a time when I really needed some help."[54]

In 2023, McCartney's plan to build a house in a remote place in Scotland, for which she also planned to cut down trees received more than 50 objections to the local council, many on environmental grounds.[55]

About Stella

Timeline

ABOUT STELLA McCARTNEY Stella McCartney was born in London to a family of creators who were legendary in public, yet ordinary at home. Raised in both the city and the English countryside, she was kept grounded by her late mother and muse, Linda McCartney – a photographer, vegetarian and animal rights activist whose values and innate appreciation for beauty continue to inspire her today. About the Brand Subsequent key highlights for the brand include launching an ongoing adidas by Stella McCartney performance wear partnership in September 2004, releasing the vegan STELLA fragrance and debuting the first lingerie collection in 2008. In Winter 2009, the iconic Falabella bag was introduced, distinguished by a hand-laced cotton and diamond-cut chain detail – the vegan accessory is now of Stella McCartney’s bestselling collections. In the same year, Stella McCartney Kids was introduced, and the sustainable fashion house expanded into eco-friendly eyewear in 2011. Stella was appointed Team Great Britain’s Creative Director for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London by adidas, marking the first time in the history of the games that a leading fashion designer has designed the apparel for a country’s team across all Olympic competitions. In 2016, she unveiled her first full swimwear collection, launched the new STELLA POP fragrance and was invited to be Creative Director for Team Great Britain again for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio. The first-ever Stella McCartney menswear collection launched in Spring 2017 and Stella designed the first-ever vegan Stan Smith trains in Autumn 2018. That year, she also launched the Stella McCartney Cares Foundation – a non-profit charity platform devoted to dually supporting sustainability and breast cancer awareness, two causes especially close to the designer’s heart. After 17 years of partnership, Stella purchased Kering’s stake in her company in 2018. Later that year, she designed Meghan Markle’s wedding reception dress and partnered with the United Nations on a sustainable fashion charter. In 2019, Stella McCartney entered into a partnership with LVMH to further develop her brand, while retaining a majority ownership. She will also serve as a special advisor on sustainability to Bernard Arnault and the conglomerate’s executive committee. Additionally, in January 2020, Stella became the first fashion designer ever to appear on the cover of Vogue USA. Cementing her position as an innovation leader in 2021, Stella was invited by HRH The Prince of Wales’ Sustainable Markets Initiative to attend the G7 Summit and the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26), where she hosted a Future of Fashion material innovations exhibit. Stella McCartney was the only fashion designer to attend COP26, the global climate change summit, launching the travelling “Future of Fashion” exhibit. She attended the G7 UK conference and signed the Terra Carta treaty. In the same year, she released the world’s first-ever vegan football boot, in collaboration with adidas and Paul Pogba, and the world’s first Mylo™️ mycelium leather garments and runway bag. In 2022, Stella released the world’s first-ever commercially available Mylo™ luxury handbag crafted from mycelium and continued to innovate nature-positive material innovations. She also launched STELLA by Stella McCartney – a vegan and cruelty-free skincare range crafted from over 99% natural ingredients. Stella also became a co-founder of the SOS Fund, investing in next-gen start-ups at the grassroots level to support nature-positive solutions and innovations. This commitment to pioneering a conscious luxury movement continued with Stella’s vocal support of The Fashion Act policy in New York as well as the launch of STELLA by Stella McCartney skincare, an entirely vegan, 99% natural beauty range in partnership with LVMH. In 2023, Stella was honoured with a CBE, Commander of the Order of the British Empire, by His Royal Highness King Charles III in recognition of her services to fashion and sustainability. She also debuted the world’s first-ever luxury products crafted from MIRUM®, BioSequins and regenerative cotton.   Today, Stella McCartney spans women’s ready to wear, unisex capsules, kids’ clothing, accessories, swimwear, lingerie, a performance wear collaboration with adidas, STELLA skincare and more – with 48 directly owned stores and 21 franchise stores across New York City, London, Paris, Milan, Tokyo, Shanghai and Beijing. Our collections are now sold in 77 nations through 863 specialty shops and department stores, and ship to 100 countries via online. Discover more at stellamccartney.com. She graduated from Central St Martins in 1995, becoming immediately known for her womenswear’s sharp tailoring, bold aesthetics and masculine energy. By 1997, Stella was appointed the Creative Director of Chloé in Paris, leading the house to critical and commercial success. In 2001, Stella McCartney launched her eponymous luxury fashion house and showed her first collection in Paris that October. A lifelong vegetarian, Stella has never used leather, feathers, skin or fur in any of her designs since day one – a revolutionary stance both then and now. Since those first seeds were planted, the brand has continued to grow its sustainability thought leadership through material and supply chain innovation, partnerships and beyond.

Stella McCartney’s achievement in fashion and social awareness has been recognised on numerous occasions including: Timeline2023 Presented with a CBE, Commander of the Order of the British Empire, award for contributions to fashion and sustainability.

Photograph: Stéphane Cardinale/Corbis/Getty Images“Well, I mean, we’re in a bit of a state here, aren’t we?” said McCartney of the slogan vest that read “About Fucking Time”. “I always want the platform of Stella McCartney to have an environmental message. I am here to remind people that this is one of the most harmful industries. But I’m not here to make people depressed and scared. I want to celebrate Mother Earth and all of her creatures and to remind us all to be conscious of that, but at the same time, I want it to be an uplifting experience.”McCartney is determined that the planet-wrecking version of fashion should not get a monopoly on glamour. Sustainability, she says, should be invisible on the runway. The show began with a rose-pink trouser suit, unbuttoned with nothing underneath, redolent of Rampling-esque sauciness, worn under a powder-puff faux-fur coat that Alexis Colby would have coveted.There were lashings of glossy “leather”, made from a bio-based alternative that uses agricultural waste and recycled material. A cobweb of lead-free crystals over bare skin channelled this Paris fashion week’s lascivious appetite for naked dressing. A lip motif on a scant silk dress represented womanhood, sensuality and the voice of Mother Earth, but “the clothes should never be compromised”, she said backstage.Rei Kawakubo, the revered 81-year-old designer of Comme des Garçons, said at her show a few days ago that she felt “anger against everything in the world, especially against myself”, but McCartney refuses to go down that road.View image in fullscreenMcCartney is determined that the planet-wrecking version of fashion should not get a monopoly on glamour.

We are not cutting down rainforests to make way for animal agriculture, we’re not using plastics in our sequins.”Her brand is backed by the luxury giant LVMH, who she describes as “open-hearted” to her sustainability message. “I’m a big believer in infiltrating from within.

The suit is a powerful, oversized situation this season. A little bit David Byrne. For me the perfect suit starts with a borrowed man’s suit, but as a woman designing for women I know the exact spot on the hips where I want the pant to sit. I know how the perfect trousers feel when your hands are in your pockets.”After the show, Paris Jackson chatted to Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr while Mel C gave the designer a hug. Linda McCartney was in the air, too, in drape-sleeve dresses, “because everything I do is inspired by mum’s wardrobe”. The crosshatched pattern of a tweed jacket was taken from a garden path from her childhood home in the countryside, and the family ties extended to Lila Moss on the catwalk. “I saw Lila the day she was born, so it makes me feel very happy and very maternal to see her on the runway,” said McCartney.View image in fullscreenThe Stella McCartney brand is backed by the luxury giant LVMH.

Born in September 1971 to former Beatle Paul McCartney and musician, photographer and animal rights activist Linda McCartney, she spent her formative years travelling the world with her parents who, at the time, were both in the band Wings.Her interest in fashion started at an early age and by 13 she had begun to make her own clothes. Three years later she undertook an internship with Christian Lacroix, after which she completed an art foundation at Ravensbourne College and then a degree in fashion design at Central Saints Martins. After graduating, she shadowed Savile Row tailor Edward Sexton to learn more about the craft.She is renowned for her sharp, simple tailoring with a feminine edge and considerate approach to wearable design. "It's not about what it looks like in the studio or on the runway," she once told WWD. "It's what it looks like on a real person that matters. That isn't easy, but it's what's fun." Following in the footsteps of her mother Linda, she is a staunch supporter of animal rights and a strict vegetarian - she refuses to use leather or fur in any of her designs. Instead, her shoes are made of vinyl or plastic and all belts and bags are made from raffia and fabric.As of 2012, Stella McCartney operates 23 freestanding stores in locations including Manhattan's SoHo, London's Mayfair, LA's West Hollywood, Paris' Palais Royal and Milan.She lives between Notting Hill, London and Worcestershire with her husband Alasdhair Willis, a creative consultant, and their four children - Miller, Bailey, Beckett and Reiley.McCartney graduated from Central Saint Martins in 1995, with her friends Kate Moss, Yasmin Le Bon and Naomi Campbell modelling for her final year show. The entire collection was purchased by London boutique Tokio and also stocked in Browns, Joseph, Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus.In 1997 she was appointed creative director of Parisian fashion house Chloe, succeeding Karl Lagerfeld in the role. She was assisted by Phoebe Philo, who later replaced her when she left the house.In April 2001 it was confirmed that the Gucci Group (now the PPR Luxury Group) had teamed up with Stella McCartney to develop her own label as a global luxury brand. "In Gucci Group, I have found a partner with the skills necessary to make this business a success. I have always wanted to start my own label and I feel ready for the challenge," said Stella in a statement. She showed her debut collection at Paris Fashion Week in October of the same year with Jude Law, Sadie Frost, Damien Hirst, Chrissie Hynde and her father, Sir Paul McCartney in the audience. The collection included the now famous T-shirt with "Bristols" emblazoned across the breasts.McCartney was presented with an honorary degree by the University of Dundee in March 2003. "We have a very strong school of art and design and we felt it was appropriate to honour Stella for her immense contribution to fashion," said a spokeswoman for the university. "We picked her over any other young British designer because so many of our students feel an affiliation with her. She is young and outgoing and has really made a mark on fashion. While her clothes are classy and attractive, they are still bold and she has a style all her own."In August 2003, McCartney married Alasdhair Willis on the IsleMost PopularFashionOscars Red Carpet 2024: See Every Outfit, Look And DressBy VogueFashionEmRata In Peekaboo Bridal, Kendall In Snatched Margiela & J-Law’s Vintage Coup: All The Best Oscars After-Party LooksBy Alice NewboldArts & LifestyleSee The Full List Of Winners At The 2024 OscarsBy Vogueof Bute wearing a self-designed dress inspired by the one hermother had worn to her own wedding in 1969.

The collection, called simply Adidas by Stella McCartney, has since grown to include a wide range of different sportswear including yoga, tennis, winter sports and golf.It was announced in May 2005 that McCartney would design a range for high street fashion giant H&M. The 40-piece collection was launched the following November and sold out immediately. "We are thrilled to collaborate with Stella McCartney," H&M's head of design, Margareta van den Bosch, said at the time. "Her designs are modern and cool yet classic and wearable. We have long admired her sense of tailoring and femininity."In 2007 she undertook another high street collaboration, thistime with Australian budget store Target. She cited her late motherLinda as her inspiration for the collection: "Mum was a big styleicon for me, her natural sexiness and natural confidence," she toldSydney's Daily Telegraph.

"Thegreatest luxury of having the parents I had was that it has enabledme not to have to compromise," she told the Guardian."In the back of my mind, I always knew - if this all goes horriblywrong, I'll be alright. That's an option that most people justdon't have, financially."She was awarded the title of Designer of the Year at theBritish Style Awards in November 2007."My team really deservethis," she said upon her acceptance. "I couldn't possibly managewith three children under the age of three without them." Otherawards she has received include being named Glamour'sWoman of the Year in 2009 and the British Fashion Council's RedCarpet Award in 2011. She was also named in the TIME 100 -a list of the 100 most influential people in the world.In January 2007, McCartney launched a 100% organic skincare line called CARE. The following year she launched a successful lingerie line.She has spoken many times about her support of animal rights."People in fashion just don't want to hear the messages," she toldthe Guardian in 2009. "I find it astounding, becausefashion is supposed to be all about change - I mean, we're supposedto be at the cutting edge! I can only think that they don't care asmuch as people in other industries. So, yes, I think people infashion are pretty heartless."In October 2009, McCartney launched her first childrenswear collection for Gap Kids. "I think this collection has a mix of the playful and practical," McCartney told us. "It's a reflection of my brand, there are pieces that are classic and very sort of timeless and hopefully very chic, and then there are pieces that are the kind you chuck in the washing machine and they get better with time and, you know, they are funny and hopefully a little bit cool." She launched her second collection for Gap Kids in February 2011.She has stated that films have been a huge inspiration to her.Most PopularFashionOscars Red Carpet 2024: See Every Outfit, Look And DressBy VogueFashionEmRata In Peekaboo Bridal, Kendall In Snatched Margiela & J-Law’s Vintage Coup: All The Best Oscars After-Party LooksBy Alice NewboldArts & LifestyleSee The Full List Of Winners At The 2024 OscarsBy Vogue"I loved all those Doris Day visuals of her being a tomboy and thenchanging into this gorgeous girl in a ballgown," she told theObserver in 2010.As a result of her long-running relationship with Adidas, McCartney was appointed creative director of the sportswear brand's 2012 Olympic Team GB ranges in July 2010, tasked with the job of creating the label's athlete kit for both the national Olympic and Paralympic teams. "As a British fashion designer it is an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be creative director of Team GB as the hosting nation of the London 2012 Olympic Games," McCartney said. The appointment was the first time a high-end designer had designed sportswear for the Olympic Games.She was included in the Telegraph's list of the most powerfulwomen in Britain in 2011, alongside fellow contemporaries PhoebePhilo, Anya Hindmarch and Vivienne Westwood and BritishVogue editor Alexandra Shulman.It was announced in November 2011 that McCartney would showcase a one-off collection at a presentation on February 18 2012 as part of London Fashion Week. It will be the first time she has shown in London since her graduate collection. She will, however, still show her mainline autumn/winter 2012-13 collection in Paris in March.In an interview with Vogue in the February 2012, shespoke about her personal and professional life. "I suppose what I'mtrying to do with my work is to make [the women who buy my clothes]feel just as important as they think... famous people are.

At Paris fashion week, she hosted a “plant-based, nature-positive, solution-focused” street market with 21 stalls selling and explaining sustainable produce ranging from “crochet” minidresses made from seaweed to Linda McCartney veggie burgers.“This is honestly one of the most momentous days of my life,” said the stall-holder Tessa Callaghan, the chief executive and founder of Keel Labs, whose Kelsun yarn features in McCartney’s new collection in several boho openwork-knit summer dresses, which look like crocheted cotton but are made from renewable kelp. “Today is the first time one of our products has ever been seen in public, and this event is the best way I could have imagined that to happen.”Seaweed, says Callaghan, is “a planet-positive raw material because it is extremely abundant and, unlike cotton, it doesn’t require fertiliser or pesticides. It involves no water consumption, no land use and no fossil-fuel reliance.”View image in fullscreen Photograph: Stella McCartneyView image in fullscreen Photograph: Stella McCartneyView image in fullscreen Photograph: Stella McCartneyAt the Radiant Matter stall, show-goers admired a shimmering dress made from the company’s new biodegradable alternative to sequins, which harness iridescence from within the organic structure of natural raw materials to mimic the glimmer of sequins, without the harsh environmental footprint. Radiant Matter has collaborated with McCartney to produce a dress and a jumpsuit.McCartney after the show: “Fashion has always been a place where people find their family and their gang, and this is a moment for a community who care about fashion and the environment to come together. And also, who doesn’t love a French market?”The designer collaborated with her father for part of the collection on the catwalk, which celebrated clothes that get handed down through generations. “I always took pieces out of both my mum and dad’s wardrobes, and now my daughter borrows from me,” she said.Wings graphics taken from her parents’ life on tour were reworked on organic cotton T-shirts, worn with embellished waistcoats that borrowed a vibe from Paul McCartney’s 1970s stage-wear. Lace-trimmed slip dresses and feminine tailoring, strong suits of the brand since its inception, revived Stella’s catwalk greatest hits in a celebration of the principle of shopping your wardrobe.View image in fullscreenMcCartney with the actor Robert Downey Jr at Paris fashion week. Photograph: Dave Benett/Getty for Stella McCartneyAnd just when you thought sustainable fashion could not get any more glamorous and rock’n’roll, there were handbags made from champagne. Well, sort of: the grapes used to make the vegan “leather” Frayme bags in the collection are byproducts in the production of Veuve Clicquot, which is owned by McCartney’s investors, LVMH.Peta has disrupted a number of catwalk shows this season to protest against the use of leather, and consumer interest in vegan alternatives is growing. But the challenges facing startups attempting to go head to head with leather, the most lucrative sector of the fashion market, were shown in June when the American startup Bolt Threads paused production of Mylo, a mycelium-based leather alternative, after failing to secure the investment necessary to scale up.Ninety-five per cent of the collection is made from materials the brand considers to be responsible, up from 92% last season and 91% the season before that, according to McCartney.“We’re not here to make you feel guilty,” she said. “It’s just about doing what you can, taking a water bottle and a shopping bag out with you when you leave the house or whatever. And not consuming so much fashion because we know we don’t need it.”Explore more on these topicsStella McCartneyParis fashion weekFashion weeksSustainable fashionfeaturesShareReuse this contentMore on this storyMore on this storyNicolas Ghesquière marks 10 years at Louis Vuitton with powerhouse Paris show7d agoChanel brings Hollywood and seaside chic to Paris fashion week5 Mar 2024Stella McCartney celebrates Mother Earth with no lack of glamour4 Mar 2024Seán McGirr taps into 90s-era spikiness in Alexander McQueen debut show3 Mar 2024Peta protesters disrupt Victoria Beckham’s Paris fashion week show1 Mar 2024Peta protesters disrupt Victoria Beckham’s Paris fashion week show – video 2 Mar 2024Surrealism and female-focus dominate day at Paris fashion week1 Mar 2024Boho makes a comeback at Chloé Paris fashion week show29 Feb 2024Sheer and now: see-through fabrics dominate Saint Laurent’s Paris show28 Feb 2024Most viewedMost viewedFashionFoodRecipesLove & sexHealth & fitnessHome & gardenWomenMenFamilyTravelMoneyNewsOpinionSportCultureLifestyleOriginal reporting and incisive analysis, direct from the Guardian every morningSign up for our emailHelpComplaints & correctionsSecureDropWork for us Privacy policyCookie policyTerms & conditionsContact usAll topicsAll writersDigital newspaper archiveFacebookYouTubeInstagramLinkedInTwitterNewslettersAdvertise with usSearch UK jobsBack to top© 2024 Guardian News & Media Limited or its affiliated companies.

And she obviously agrees: “I’m always designing what I want to wear,” she told Vogue in 2004.What McCartney has gravitated to over the years is a mix of Savile Row tailoring (perhaps because she apprenticed with her father’s suit-maker, Edward Sexton, while a student), filmy lingerie, some sexy footwear—and a bit of slouch. As the daughter of a Beatle, McCartney might be rock royalty, but neither she nor her clothing has ever stood on ceremony. “It’s not about what it looks like in the studio or on the runway,” the designer told WWD. “It’s what it looks like on a real person that matters. That isn’t easy, but it’s what’s fun.”McCartney was trained at Central Saint Martins, before being cherry-picked by the French house of Chloé in 1997 to succeed Karl Lagerfeld (a decision about which the Kaiser was volubly critical). After proving her chops at Chloé, she launched her own line, under her own name, in a fifty-fifty deal with Kering in 2001. From the start, her playful irreverence was infectious. At a party thrown to introduce her work at H&M, a movable feast was served not by waiters but by toy trains running around a track in an old redbrick schoolhouse. The invitation for the Spring 2007 show was a specially created Little Miss Stella storybook by Adam Hargreaves. And McCartney’s models habitually walk the runway accessorized with a smile.Responsible luxury is McCartney’s calling card—she was raised, in part, on an organic farm and is a lifelong vegetarian. She refuses to use leather or fur, aiming for clothes that are at once elegant and ethical. Yet however strident her beliefs, she can’t be labeled a zealot. “I don’t want people to buy my stuff because they know it’s not leather,” she has said. “I just want them to want the boots.”All Stella McCartney CollectionsFall 2024 Ready-to-WearPre-Fall 2024Spring 2024 Ready-to-WearResort 2024Fall 2023 Ready-to-WearPre-Fall 2023Spring 2023 Ready-to-WearResort 2023Fall 2022 Ready-to-WearPre-Fall 2022Show moreLatest from Stella McCartneyEarth to UsStella McCartney on Building a More Sustainable Fashion Industry in 2023By Emily ChanRunwaySandra Bullock Brings Stella McCartney’s Crystal Catsuits to the Red CarpetBy Janelle OkwoduRunwayStella McCartney Reveals a New Beatles Collaboration Timed to Peter Jackson’s Documentary, *The Beatles: Get Back*By Emily FarraSustainability Stella McCartney Takes *Vogue* Behind the Scenes at COP26By Emily ChanRunwayDemi Moore and Scout Willis Have a Twinning Hair Moment at Paris Fashion WeekBy Calin Van ParisRunwayParis Jackson’s “Rock Royalty” Tee Is a Perfect Fashion ThrowbackBy Liam HessRunwayStella McCartney Just Became More Sustainable Than Ever—Here’s HowBy Liam FreemanRunwayStella McCartney Made an Impassioned Call for Sustainability in Fashion at the G7 SummitBy Christian AllaireRunwayStella McCartney Wants Us to ‘Stella-brate’ Her Sustainably Focused Pop-Up Shop at Bloomingdale’sBy Rachel BesserThe latest fashion news, beauty coverage, celebrity style, fashion week updates, culture reviews, and videos on Vogue.com.FacebookXPinterestInstagramTiktokMore from VogueNewsletterCustomer CareVerify SubscriptionContact usAbout VogueCareersProjectsVogue ArchiveForces of Fashion Vogue Summer School NYCSee More StoriesFashionBeautyCultureLivingRunwayShoppingMagazineGift GuidesUser AgreementPrivacy Policy & Cookie StatementYour California Privacy RightsAccessibility HelpMastheadVisual StoriesDo Not Sell My Personal Info© 2024 Condé Nast.

Stella McCartney Is Changing Fashion From Within

Naina Bajekal/London

August 9, 2023 7:00 AM EDT

Stella McCartney doesn’t want you to feel bad. The British fashion designer understands it’s easy to get overwhelmed by all the ways the products we eat, buy, and wear come with unintended consequences—for society, for animals, for the planet. And so even if she’s talking about the harrowing conditions workers suffer in fast-fashion factories or the devastating climate impact of animal agriculture, she’s eager to emphasize that the goal isn’t guilt. It’s hard work to be the best you can be, after all, especially when what many of us want is seemingly impossible: to live more sustainably without giving up the luxuries and conveniences of modern life. We want to look good, feel good, and still somehow do good.

McCartney wears eco-friendly designs from her winter 2023 collection, in London on July 5

Vicki King for TIME

And so McCartney, 51, is trying to make that a little easier. Creator of the first ever vegan “It bag”—the slouchy faux-leather Falabella tote with a sleek silver-chain trim—McCartney has spent her career trying to show the world that ethical choices don’t have to mean compromising on glamour. Since the launch of her namesake label in 2001, she has created luxury clothing that celebrates modern femininity—her brand is a closet staple for countless celebrities—while eschewing leather, feathers, and fur. She also made a name for herself as one of the cool girls of the noughties, out with Kate Moss, Madonna, and Gwyneth Paltrow. (A 2000 Vogue profile called her “a girl who loves to make a little trouble, get a rise, stir things up.”)

Two decades on, she remains a fixture on the high-fashion circuit, making clothing that is known as much for its sharp tailoring, minimal lines, and bold aesthetics as it is for its eco credentials. She’s also a pioneer, collaborating with startups on the cruelty-free, sustainable materials—like grape-based leather, forest-friendly rayon and recycled cashmere—that made up 90% of her latest two collections. “All I’m trying to show is that you don’t need to sacrifice,” she says when we meet in her London office in July. “You’re not being penalized for your choices.” Read More: See Intimate Family Photos of the McCartney Family McCartney had a running start: she’s the daughter of two prominent animal-rights activists who wrote protest letters to companies involved in animal abuse, lobbied against fur, and published vegetarian cookbooks. They also happen to be music royalty: Beatles legend Paul McCartney and the American photographer Linda (who died in 1998), who built a home in the countryside but also took their kids on the road with their band, Wings. “One side was this farm life, and the other side was the stage, with glittery boots and glamour,” McCartney recalls. “It was an early inspiration.”

She has since established herself as a British fashion icon in her own right, designing the uniforms for Team GB Olympic athletes and Meghan Markle’s wedding-reception dress. “It was impossible for fashion to think of luxury and sustainability in the same breath before Stella changed that,” Anna Wintour, chief content officer of Condé Nast and global editorial director at Vogue, writes over email.

McCartney’s work increasingly extends beyond her own label: in the past few years, she has met world leaders at the G-7 and the U.N. Climate Change Conference and co-founded the $200 million Collab SOS fund for climate solutions. As sustainability became a business imperative, her brand became more desirable. In 2018, she bought back the 50% stake that Kering had held for 17 years—only to team up the following year with Kering’s chief rival, LVMH (Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton). There, she was appointed special adviser on sustainability to CEO Bernard Arnault, one of the world’s richest men, who said in a statement that “a decisive factor was that she was the first to put sustainability and ethical issues on the front stage, very early on.”

The minority stake provides both the freedom and the cash to continue innovations that might not turn a profit. Her namesake brand reported a loss of more than $40 million in 2021, the third consecutive year of a loss of more than $38 million, following the split from Kering and the business challenges of the pandemic. Now, as McCartney brings more eco-friendly materials into her own collections, she also collaborates with LVMH—Europe’s largest company by market value—to encourage its other maisons (among them Loewe, Dior, and Givenchy) to do the same.

Her parents may have been icons, but Linda, who had rejected her Park Avenue life to tour with rock stars, and Paul, the working-class Liverpudlian who became a household name in his 20s, wanted to keep their family grounded. They chose to send their four children to local schools, opting against the private education favored by wealthy Brits. “They had to take a bit of flak for having a famous dad, but it toughened them up,” Sir Paul McCartney recalls, sitting in his office overlooking London’s Soho Square. A Wurlitzer jukebox glows in one corner, and he points out a pair of spectacles that once belonged to René Magritte, a present from Linda. “Now I’m just showing off,” the 81-year-old says, laughing.

He and Linda always had “slightly offbeat tastes in fashion,” he adds, and from a young age, Stella would spend hours pulling together outfits from their shared closet. In 1997, just two years after graduating from Central St. Martins, the renowned art and design school in London, 25-year-old McCartney was appointed to succeed Karl Lagerfeld as creative director of Chloé in Paris. "More Clueless Than Couture," a Vogue headline read at the time. “I think they should have taken a big name,” Lagerfeld sniped of his successor. “They did—but in music, not fashion.”

“She had to prove herself,” her father says. “I said, if she doesn’t do well at the end of that year, then the name is not something to help, it’s a cudgel to beat her with. But she did well.” At Chloé, where McCartney worked with her former classmate Phoebe Philo, the pair injected a raunchy sensibility into a French house known for soft femininity, designing low-slung skintight pants, see-through gold-chain tank tops, and skimpy sequin dresses. McCartney also stuck to her values; no collection she’s ever designed has used animal products. She acknowledges that her ability to uphold her convictions comes partly from being the daughter of one of the most successful men on the planet. “As one of the first nepo babies,” she says wryly, “I had the privilege of choice. I’m very aware of how lucky I’ve been to be accepted to work in this way since day one.” Aja Barber, a stylist and author of Consumed: The Need for Collective Change: Colonialism, Climate Change, and Consumerism, commends how McCartney has used her platform to drive change. “The fashion industry runs on privilege and nepotism,” she says. “So why isn’t everyone making the same choices that Stella McCartney is making?”

Read More: Stella McCartney Makes the Case that Animals Should Be Friends, Not Fashion Those choices are not always an easy sell to CEOs. “I’ve had moments where I’ve been challenged very heavily to change my morals for the success of the company,” McCartney says, recounting instances when she was urged to incorporate leather into her line for better margins. (She has appealed to leaders to review policies that may favor leather goods over synthetic ones.)

But if fashion is meant to be about dreams and fantasy and escaping from reality, as McCartney says, that makes it hard to force a broader reckoning with its harms. The industry was responsible for more than 2 billion metric tons of greenhouse-gas emissions in 2018—equivalent to the output of the U.K., France, and Germany combined—according to McKinsey. Around 60% of all clothing winds up in landfills or incinerators within a year of production—the equivalent of a truckload of used clothing being dumped or burned every second. While cheap, accessible fast fashion drives much of the environmental degradation, luxury brands aren’t exempt: in 2017, Burberry notoriously destroyed $37 million worth of merchandise to maintain its reputation of exclusivity. (It has since stopped the practice.) Every year, the global leather industry—on which luxury fashion houses depend—is involved in slaughtering more than a billion animals, while tannery workers are exposed to toxic chemicals. “That is the glamorous industry of fashion,” McCartney says.

While concerns over animal cruelty were always front of mind, McCartney’s focus expanded after the publication of a 2006 U.N. report that stated that livestock production is responsible for more emissions than the entire global transport sector. In response, she launched the Meat-Free Monday campaign in the U.K. with her father and her sister Mary, encouraging the public to adopt a weekly meat-free day, and examining how to make her own lines more sustainable. Paul says Stella’s strategy of offering people better, ethical alternatives—rather than guilt-tripping them—was inspired by her mother, who launched a successful vegetarian-food business. “Linda was a pioneer and she was very strong, very ballsy, like Stella is,” he says. “It’s difficult. But she’s showing it’s not that difficult.” In the bright white lobby of the Stella McCartney offices in West London, scenes from her widely praised show at Paris Fashion Week in March play on loop. Dappled gray horses canter alongside models wearing her Winter 2023 collection: furry overcoats, checked blazers, sharply tailored jackets, silky asymmetric dresses. The models sport thigh-high boots and carry handbags that, though you could never tell, are made from grapes, apples, or other plant-based materials.

Vegan fashion may not harm animals, but it can still harm the planet. Most vegan leathers are made from polyurethane (PU) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which can release microplastics into the environment. McCartney’s team hopes to minimize such effects by working closely with startups to find greener alternatives that can match the quality and durability of leather. It’s an incredibly complex, costly, and lengthy process: McCartney’s team starts by testing swatches of each new material, examining its feel, scent, resistance to scratching or tearing; they then make a prototype handbag to test its color retention and strength. Feedback is relayed to the scientists to refine the material over months and years. A major part of the work, McCartney says, is communicating their needs to scientists unfamiliar with the fashion industry. “I know the product needs to be tested in this way, to drape, to breathe,” she says, “to say ‘That color doesn’t work’ or ‘That fabric cracks.’” When the Stella McCartney team first met with NFW, the company that makes Mirum—a plant-based, plastic-free, and circular leather alternative—in March 2022, the material was too thick for anything other than firm, structured bags. But through working with them, a thinner, more flexible option is now available.

These collaborations often involve startups in early stages of development, and scaling for wider uptake will likely take years. And even after all that, achieving 100% sustainability is challenging; with the exception of Mirum, bio-based leathers require a PU coating to prevent scratching.

Working with small startups can also be unpredictable. In 2022, Stella McCartney produced the world’s first-ever Mylo luxury handbag made from mycelium, the rootlike system of fungi, but Mylo recently halted production because it wasn’t able to fundraise enough. Other materials can be impractical: her collaboration with startup Radiant Matter on biodegradable sequins led to Cara Delevingne wearing a Stella McCartney–designed BioSequin jumpsuit on Vogue’s April 2023 cover—but each fragile sequin had to be hand-stitched. And other non-PVC sequins lack the color range of traditional ones. “I get driven and angry,” McCartney says of the limitations she faces compared with her peers. “But these are the kinds of things that make me want to get up in the morning.” Read More: You Might Want to Think Twice About Clothing Brands That Push Rental, Resale, and Recycling The results, she feels, are worth it. Her Winter 2023 collection includes a version of the brand’s iconic Falabella made from Mirum, as well as over-the-knee boots made of Vegea, derived from wine-grape waste, and faux-crocodile handbags made from AppleSkin, a by-product of juice and jam production. There’s a particular thrill McCartney feels when customers have no idea that they’re buying shoes made from grapes, or a blouse made of regenerative cotton. “We can win if there’s no sacrifice on a dream,” she says, “on desirability, on luxury, on escapism.”

Despite her success, McCartney still has her detractors. She tells me several times that she is not perfect and that her brand isn’t either. Though she has a focus on reusing stock and waste material, she’s still in the business of making new products—though it’s unlikely an $1,100 Mirum handbag would be thrown out quickly. “My solutions aren’t there price-point wise,” McCartney says, noting that she encourages her four children to buy second-hand clothing at charity shops over fast fashion. She also has a sportswear collaboration with Adidas. “I’m a firm believer in less is more. Buying luxury—something made well, that is a timeless design—is an investment, and now there are businesses that support resale and rental.” (Stella McCartney was the first official brand partner of luxury consignment site The RealReal.)

There’s also the question of how feasible it is for McCartney to really make change within LVMH. CEO Arnault may have praised McCartney’s values, but just a few months after their deal, he publicly criticized climate activist Greta Thunberg for “surrendering completely to catastrophism.” Ever since her early days at Kering, McCartney has been accused of getting into bed with the fur-wearing, leather-toting enemy—something she describes as “infiltrating from within.” She has a history of success: in 2010, she banned the use of the notoriously toxic PVC at her label, a move later adopted by all Kering brands, from Saint Laurent to Balenciaga. Industry norms may be stubborn, but McCartney says the work at LVMH has been exciting and rewarding. “If I can have a seat at that table—where the decisions are still made—I want to be there. I’m pleased to say it’s not just bullsh-t.”

The partnership with LVMH, she says, is already yielding results. McCartney’s Summer 2023 collection includes a T-shirt made from 100% regenerative cotton, a first in luxury, emblazoned with a blue “Snog a Log” graphic—a classic example of what Wintour calls McCartney’s “wonderfully tongue-in-cheek sense of humor.” Since 2019, the brand has been working with Soktas, a family-owned cotton producer in Turkey, to help it transition away from conventional cotton farming, which uses harmful chemicals to control pests and boost production. The regenerative-cotton project started with 5 hectares and grew to 55 in 2022, her team says; LVMH has now taken over the Soktas funding, which will further expand the project.

Read More: What Happened When I Realized My Cheap Clothes Were a Global Problem That helps keep McCartney going. But behind it all is a drive to connect with consumers through her clothes. She considers fashion a service industry. When she’s working on a collection, she’s thinking about how a Stella McCartney-designed piece should make you feel: confident, comfortable, alive, effortless, sensual. “I want to feel the best version of myself,” she says, her eyes lit up. “I want to feel f-cking fabulous.” —With reporting by Leslie Dickstein/New York and Armani Syed/London

It goes:“You have called me many names / And you know my face / You see me in the trees / The birds / The waves / You all came from me / In harmony / So why are you harming me? / We are always together / And despite your attempts at emancipation / You cannot cut the umbilical cord that connects the entire planet / Sorry, baby / I am the only mother where it is natural for her to outlive her children / But what will be left of me / After you? / I still love you / Do you still love me? / I need you to show it / Show me you love me / It’s about fucking time / It’s about fucking time / It’s about fucking time.”If you read the climate headlines, it can feel like it’s already too late. More than a million acres of the Texas Panhandle have burned in the still-raging Smokehouse Creek fire, and scientists are warning about a crucial tipping point in the warming of the Atlantic Ocean that could precipitate system collapse. Less calamitous but equally telling is how early spring has sprung here in Paris. The equinox is two weeks away, and the magnolia trees are already blooming. It’s the same elsewhere. How does a woman, especially if she’s a mother, not get depressed about it all?McCartney is preternaturally upbeat—maybe it’s all the time she spends in the country?—and that refusal to see the cup half empty infuses her collections. Though her tailored jackets are cut with power shoulders that could command a board meeting, she styles and sends them down the runway sans shirts or underpinnings.On the more laid-back side of things, slouchy matching knit sets are accessorized with loopy yarn boas long enough to dust the floor with. There’s not the preciousness you get with other high-fashion labels; McCartney wants you to have a bit of fun in her clothes.Other cases in point this season included the tailoring with cut-crystal detailing in the style of a Chloé collection McCartney designed circa spring 2000 and jeans with built-in eco-leather chaps accompanied by a tank printed with the ending refrain of the Mother Earth manifesto. That much of this had been constructed with responsibly sourced or recycled materials and vegan alternatives to animal products is another reason to feel good in McCartney’s clothes. None of it will save Mother Earth, but wearing it and supporting McCartney might help spread the word about all the trouble that’s coming, and that’s at least something.CollectionLook 1Look 2Look 3Look 4Look 5Look 6Look 7Look 8Look 9Load MoreDetailsDetail Look 1Detail Look 2Detail Look 3Detail Look 4Detail Look 5Detail Look 6Detail Look 7Detail Look 8Detail Look 9Load MoreBeautyBeauty Look 1Beauty Look 2Beauty Look 3Beauty Look 4Beauty Look 5Beauty Look 6Beauty Look 7Beauty Look 8Beauty Look 9Load MoreMORE FROM Fall 2024 Ready-to-WearA.W.A.K.E.
