Stella McCartney

Stella McCartney has always been ahead of the curve. Born and raised between London and the English countryside, she graduated from Central Saint Martins in 1995, immediately making waves with her sharp tailoring and effortless femininity. Just two collections in, she took the helm at Chloé in Paris in 1997, injecting fresh energy into the house and gaining acclaim for her modern vision.

In 2001, Stella launched her own label, presenting her first collection in Paris. A lifelong vegetarian, she made a bold move: no leather, no fur—long before sustainability was a fashion buzzword. Her commitment to ethical design set her apart, making her brand a trailblazer in the industry.

Over the years, her empire has expanded to include women’s ready-to-wear, accessories, lingerie, eyewear, fragrance, menswear, and kidswear. With flagship stores in style capitals like Soho, Mayfair, and the Palais Royal, her influence is global. Her collections reach 77 countries, both in-store and online, connecting with fashion lovers worldwide.

Collaborations have been key. In 2004, she teamed up with adidas to launch adidas by Stella McCartney, blending performance and style across sports like running, yoga, and tennis. She made history in 2012 and 2016 as the creative force behind Team GB’s Olympic uniforms, merging national pride with cutting-edge design.

Stella’s innovative spirit doesn’t stop at fashion. In 2018, she launched the Stella McCartney Cares Foundation, focusing on sustainability and breast cancer awareness—causes close to her heart. That same year, she introduced the world’s first vegan Stan Smith sneakers with adidas, pushing the boundaries of eco-friendly design.

Always pushing forward, she’s explored new materials like mushroom leather and championed circular fashion. Stella McCartney isn’t just a brand; it’s a movement toward a more responsible and modern approach to style. Her vision proves you don’t have to compromise ethics for elegance.
