Stella MCCartney
She may be Paul McCartney's daughter, but Stella McCartney earned her way into the ranks of fashion's most elite designers.
She learned tailoring while working on London's Savile Row, did an internship with Christian Lacroix, and served as creative director at Chloe (succeeding none other than Karl Lagerfeld). She launched her own label in 2001 and has made her mark with sweet and sophisticated designs that reflect both her signature style and her personal philosophy by incorporating a natural confidence and consciously avoiding all use of leather and fur.
Unrivalled tailoring skills and a strict animal product-free philosophy have sealed Stella McCartney's place as one of fashion's most talented and ethical designers.
