She was quite literally a product of the arts, and this has remained apparent throughout her life to date. Her father, Paul McCartney of The Beatles, is one of the most iconic musicians of all time, and his late wife was a well-known photographer and activist. Throughout her youth, Stella was inspired by her parents\u2019 eclectic and free sense of style while traveling with her father\u2019s band, Wings. In lieu of her early affinity for apparel, it is said that she was fashioning her own clothing by the age of thirteen. Her drive was evident as she later obtained a handful of impressive internships at Christian Lacroix and British Vogue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/rebag.com\/thevault\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ClUePChWYAAqDwK.png&#8221; alt=&#8221;Stella McCartney, Paul McCartney, Linda McCartney&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Stella McCartney &#038; Parents&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#999999&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;13px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;24px&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0McCartney with her parents, courtesy of Stella McCartney<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;MaisonNeue-Book||||||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_letter_spacing=&#8221;0.44px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;26px&#8221; header_font=&#8221;Canela-Thin||||||||&#8221; header_font_size=&#8221;48px&#8221; header_letter_spacing=&#8221;0.5px&#8221; header_line_height=&#8221;56px&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;Canela-Thin||||||||&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;24px&#8221; header_2_letter_spacing=&#8221;1.5px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;Canela-Thin||||||||&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_3_letter_spacing=&#8221;1.5px&#8221; header_3_line_height=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_6_font=&#8221;MaisonNeue-Demi||||||||&#8221; header_6_font_size=&#8221;13px&#8221; header_6_letter_spacing=&#8221;1.5px&#8221; header_6_line_height=&#8221;23px&#8221; max_width=&#8221;750px&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||21px|||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px|||&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When she went off to college, the social circle McCartney ran in reflected her artsy upbringing. Impactful friends and muses appeared in Stella\u2019s show at Central Saint Martins College of Art &amp; Design. Walking in the young designer\u2019s final graduation presentation were Naomi Campbell, Yasmin Le Bon, and Kate Moss. The show was something of a spectacle. McCartney\u2019s father prepared a song just for the event and the front row was lined with her sparkling connections including Twiggy, Jude Law, and of course her parents.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After her final show at university yielded instant victory (it was promptly stocked in retailers including Neiman Marcus, Joseph, Browns, and Bergdorf Goodman), McCartney worked under a tailor from Savile Row. Learning from Edward Sexton, she honed in on her skills in creating simplistic but structured garments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>McCartney at Chlo\u00e9<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Women designing for women was not a strange concept to Chlo\u00e9, a fashion house founded on fuss-free womenswear. As the first purveyor of pret-a-porter, Gaby Aghion\u2019s legacy is only passed down to designers equipped with a cognizance of the French-girl brand\u2019s allegiance to wearability &amp; whimsy. Freshly graduated in 1997, McCartney took on the head design role at Chlo\u00e9, following Karl Lagerfeld and Martine Sitbon. Although Lagerfeld expressed initial apprehension, Stella\u2019s mass success at Chlo\u00e9 is remembered by a certain tom-boy playfulness that perfectly melted into the airy aesthetic of the label.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/rebag.com\/thevault\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/moss9_gallery__559x400.png&#8221; alt=&#8221;Stella with Kate Moss at Chlo\u00e9 Show&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Stella with Kate Moss at Chlo\u00e9 Show&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#999999&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;13px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;24px&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stella with Kate Moss at Chlo\u00e9 Show, courtesy of Reuters<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;MaisonNeue-Book||||||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_letter_spacing=&#8221;0.44px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;26px&#8221; header_font=&#8221;Canela-Thin||||||||&#8221; header_font_size=&#8221;48px&#8221; header_letter_spacing=&#8221;0.5px&#8221; header_line_height=&#8221;56px&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;Canela-Thin||||||||&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;24px&#8221; header_2_letter_spacing=&#8221;1.5px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;Canela-Thin||||||||&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_3_letter_spacing=&#8221;1.5px&#8221; header_3_line_height=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_6_font=&#8221;MaisonNeue-Demi||||||||&#8221; header_6_font_size=&#8221;13px&#8221; header_6_letter_spacing=&#8221;1.5px&#8221; header_6_line_height=&#8221;23px&#8221; max_width=&#8221;750px&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||21px|||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px|||&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Partnerships &amp; Expansion<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leaving her trusted assistant Phoebe Philo to take the reins at Chlo\u00e9, McCartney set out to manifest her own self-named brand with the help of the then Gucci Group, which is now under Kering. In April of 2001, the joint venture was announced and the first show premiered in the following October\u2019s Paris Fashion Week. McCartney\u2019s design philosophy stood in such contrast to the Gucci leather goods DNA due to her outright refusal to use animal furs and skins. That being said, McCartney expressed hopes for a bright future stating, \u201cI have found a partner with the skills necessary to make this business a success.\u201d<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2018, Stella became the sole proprietor of her brand after obtaining the other fifty percent stake from Kering.

It is obvious that the ideals of her powerful and outspoken mother were something she was raised on and remain a core component of her moral code. When Stella negotiated her position at Chlo\u00e9 back in 1997, the rookie designer was immovable on the topic of animal products and despite the executive hesitancy, she was evidently convincing. Already raising skepticism due to her age and elevated upbringing, her enlightened views on the industry predeceased the eminent sustainability and social consciousness that drastically influences consumer preference well into 2020. Critics have argued that her man-made alternatives are an environmental hazard, and in this world where socially conscious companies are beginning to have a slight competitive edge, even in luxury, this raises important questions about corporate intention. McCartney continuously urges, however, that the impact of raising livestock is astronomically worse from an environmental standpoint, not to mention cruel. Much like her mother, McCartney is equipped to both argue and educate, which separates her brand from companies that give empty speeches on sustainability for sales; she has been here the whole time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When she left Chlo\u00e9 to start her namesake brand with Gucci Group, McCartney viewed the partnership as more of an infiltration as opposed to an alliance. Gucci is a brand that spawned from the luxury market\u2019s demand for fine leathers and exotics, which couldn\u2019t be more of a contrast from her stringent philosophies on fabrications. In McCartney\u2019s eyes, this could allow her to alter the system she opposed from the inside-out. Under the Gucci brand, Alexander McQueen and Saint Laurent stood adjacent to her brand and she hoped to create a ripple effect of change through the organization. Executives were at a loss of words when asked to imagine her success in the absence of the exorbitant skins that dominated high fashion. Nonetheless, Stella McCartney\u2019s sales have appeared to prove her opposition wrong time and time again, dating back to the revival of Chlo\u00e9 and even upon moving to LVMH more recently. There is a reason that the largest luxury conglomerate took her brand on despite its seemingly risky deviation from the norm; it works.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>\u00a0<\/h2>\n<h2>Luxury Bags<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to bags, the Stella McCartney approach is unrivaled. No other luxury brand with such an audience holds the same ideal that clean construction and intentional design can prove the common conception that \u201cgenuine\u201d leather is the superior material wrong. Stella McCartney handbags, such as the best-selling Falabella, have become a major part of the street-style circle. The bag now sits among high-profile purses that are highly copied. The materials for the bag are man-made, but the recycled polyester suedes (ECONYL) are often mistaken for genuine leather. ECONYL is a synthetic material developed in 2011 that is made using landfill and ocean scrap. To further the focus on sustainability, this bag also has a jacquard lining derived from recycled water bottles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/rebag.com\/thevault\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Meghan-Markle-Carrying-Stella-McCartney-Falabella-Reversible-Tote-Bag-Beige.png&#8221; alt=&#8221;Stella McCartney Meghan Markle Falabella&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Meghan Markle carrying a Falabella bag&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#999999&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;13px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;24px&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meghan Markle carrying a Falabella bag, source unknown<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;MaisonNeue-Book||||||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_letter_spacing=&#8221;0.44px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;26px&#8221; header_font=&#8221;Canela-Thin||||||||&#8221; header_font_size=&#8221;48px&#8221; header_letter_spacing=&#8221;0.5px&#8221; header_line_height=&#8221;56px&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;Canela-Thin||||||||&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;24px&#8221; header_2_letter_spacing=&#8221;1.5px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;Canela-Thin||||||||&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_3_letter_spacing=&#8221;1.5px&#8221; header_3_line_height=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_6_font=&#8221;MaisonNeue-Demi||||||||&#8221; header_6_font_size=&#8221;13px&#8221; header_6_letter_spacing=&#8221;1.5px&#8221; header_6_line_height=&#8221;23px&#8221; max_width=&#8221;750px&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||21px|||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px|||&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s clear that one of the most individual approaches to high fashion production to-date comes from the Stella McCartney brand.
