WHAT STELLA DID NEXT
MORE THAN 20 YEARS AFTER SHE BURST ONTO THE FASHION SCENE, STELLA McCARTNEY IS STILL DOING WHAT SHE DOES BEST: SHOWING US ALL THAT YOU DON’T HAVE TO SACRIFICE STYLE TO SAVE THE PLANET
AS THE DAUGHTER OF A BEATLE (Sir Paul, to us), Stella McCartney could have lived an idle life of luxury – all long lunches and international shopping sprees – if that’s what she wanted. But what she truly desired was something much bigger than that kind of life. What she wanted was nothing less than leading a fashion revolution.
From her very first collection, the lifelong vegetarian has avoided using leather, fur and other animal products in her clothing. And while critics once dismissed this as a gimmick, it’s clear she was 10 steps ahead of us all. Nowadays, ethical fashion is becoming the norm – and we have McCartney to thank for that.
The first designer to truly bridge the gap between eco-conscious and fashion-conscious, McCartney recently bought back the 50 per cent stake of her business owned by global conglomerate Kering (her original co-founder in a joint venture agreement). After all, when you’re leading the revolution, you’ve got to do it your way.
