Stella McCartney was born on September 13, 1971
in London. She graduated from St. Martin’s in 1995 and her final year
collection had the rare accolade of being bought by influential stores
such as browns, Joseph, Bergdorf Goodman, and Neiman Marcus. She
launched her own line immediately on leaving college.
Her style
of combining sharp tailoring with humor and sexy femininity was
immediately apparent in her first collection. In 1997, after only two
collections, she became the creative director of the house of Chloe in
Paris. Chloe’s commercial success was stratospheric since her arrival
and her collections and advertising campaigns for the house of Chloe
were universally praised by both buyers and press.
Stella
was awarded the VH1/Vogue Fashion and Music 2000 Designer of the year
award. In April of 2001 Stella resigned from Chloe and launched her own
fashion house under her name in partnership with Gucci Group. In
October 2001 Stella showed her Spring/Summer 2002 collection in Paris.
Following the collection, Stella announced the launch of a perfume in
2003. In January 2002 Stella and Gary Hume presented a collaboration of
handmade t-shirts and dresses at the Thaddaeus Rapac gallery in Paris.
Asilent auction was held on the night and the proceeds donated to RAWA. |
