ADIDAS BY STELLA MCCARTNEY

Designer Overview: As the daughter of ex-Beatle Sir Paul McCartney and rock-music photographer Linda, the vivacious Stella McCartney always had an extraordinary life. Aged 15, she interned with fashion heavyweight Christian Lacroix. At her graduation from Central Saint Martins in 1995 — attended by her super-famous parents and modeled by her friends Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss — she hit the headlines when influential global retailers snapped up her final collection. In 1997, she was appointed creative director at Chloé, succeeding Karl Lagerfeld. There, she revealed her love for delicate, feminine clothing, creating a definitive mood of sophisticated beauty, sensuality and romance. By 2001, she launched her own fashion house with the Gucci group. Having worked with Savile Row tailors during her earlier years, fine bespoke cuts and structured shapes exquisitely blend with pretty designs, playful cheekiness and street-savvy attitude to create her strong signature style. And in 2004, the “adidas by Stella McCartney” collection was launched. A strict vegetarian, anti-animal-cruelty campaigner and organic advocate, all her products — including accessories, shoes, lingerie and beauty lines — are fur- and leather-free and ethically conscious.

This Season: Stella McCartney’s Spring 2010 collection is all about vibrant colours, exuberant prints, stripes and florals, taking on French-inspired and tropical elements.
