Stella McCartney was born in 1971 in London to famed musician Paul McCartney and animal rights activist Linda née Eastman. Stella's father wanted his kids to lead as normal a life as possible, and Stella attended local state schools. She had a interest in fashion from a young age, and interned at Christian Lacroix and Savile Row and graduated in fashion design from Central St Martins.
Her celebrated graduate collection was purchased by several high-end boutiques. Soon after, in 1997, she was appointed creative director of Parisian fashion house Chloe, succeeding Karl Lagerfeld, and establishing Chloé as one of the best selling labels in Paris.
In 2001, she partnered with the Gucci Group (now PPR) to launch her namesake brand. Her clean, innovative, versatile aesthetic attracted a long-term collaboration with Adidas, as well as other notable collaborations. Stella is known for championing sustainability and eco-conscious styles since the inception of her label, without compromising her commitment to luxury for today’s modern woman.
