Known for her effortlessly sexy and chic ready-to-wear, British fashion designer Stella McCartney, the daughter of ex-Beatle Paul McCartney, got an early start in fashion; by the age of 15, she was working with Christian Lacroix on his first couture collection.
After graduating from London’s Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design in 1995, she was named creative director at Chloe in 1997 and then launched her own fashion house under her own name in 2001. McCartney is a well-known vegetarian who refuses to feature fur or leather in her collections.
Coveted by style-setters like Kate Moss and Sienna Miller, signature Stella McCartney looks include slouchy, oversize clothing, boyfriend jackets, and cropped pants.
