About Stella:
Born and raised in London and the English countryside, Stella McCartney graduated from Central St Martins in 1995. A signature style of sharp tailoring, natural confidence and sexy femininity was immediately apparent in her first collection.
After only two collections, in 1997, she was appointed the Creative Director of Chloe in Paris and enjoyed great success during her tenure.
In 2001, Stella McCartney launched her own fashion house under her name in a joint venture with Gucci Group and showed her first collection in Paris in October 2001. A lifelong vegetarian, Stella McCartney does not use any leather or fur in her designs. Her collections include women’s ready-to-wear, accessories, lingerie, eyewear, fragrance and organic skincare. Her first perfume, “Stella”, launched successfully in September 2003.
Stella McCartney now operates 16 stores, including flagships in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District, London’s Mayfair, LA’s West Hollywood and Paris’ Palais Royal, and recently opened doors in Milan and Beirut. Her collections are now distributed in over 50 countries through 600 wholesale accounts including specialty shops and department stores.
In November 2005, the hugely successful one-off collection “Stella McCartney for H&M” sold out worldwide in record time. In 2007, Stella McCartney unveiled CARE by Stella McCartney, a luxury organic skincare line. In 2008, a new lingerie line was launched. Most recently, in November 2009, Stella McCartney collaborated with the Gap on a kids and baby collection which has been extended into a second season which launched in March 2010.
