Stella McCartney
One of Britain’s most famous fashion
designers today is Stella McCartney. Stella was
born in 1971. At the age 26, she was already the
head designer at Chloé. Chloé is one of the oldest
and most important fashion houses in Paris.
Stella McCartney’s father is much more
famous than she is. He is ex-Beatle, Paul
McCartney. In the past some people thought
Stella was successful because of her family name, but now they know: many
people simply love Stella’s designs! In fact, Stella sells her clothes to hundreds
of shops in Europe, the USA and Canada.
Stella is a vegetarian. She does not use any fur or leather in her designs.
She has even designed sport shoes for Adidas without any leather.
Stella’s designer clothes, especially her evening dresses, are very
expensive. Many people can’t usually buy them. But Stella also made clothes for
H&M, a popular discount store, in 2005. These clothes were cheaper than her
other designs. Of course, they sold out very quickly! Let’s hope Stella will do
this again.
