Has your jaw dropped to the ground and/or you eyes grow larger yet?? Thought so=) Pretty impressive right?
Stella has carved her own individual fame in the fashion industry out of her father's success in music. She has definitely earned the awards and accolades that she has received. After rendering two collections in London after college, McCartney scored the job as Creative Director of Chloe in Paris in 1997. What better exposure to fashion could you find than that? There was no doubt that Stella was only heading up in fame after holding the Creative Director title at a huge fashion brand company.
Stella McCartney currently owns 13 stores in Paris, Milan, Beirut, L.A., N.Y.C., and London. She even has her own perfume that came out in 2003. A lifelong vegetarian and major advocate of animal rights, McCartney does not incorporate fur or leather into any of her lines. Yayyyyy:)
In September 2004, Stella collaborated with Adidas to concoct her own workout gear for the sporty company. This year, she was even given the honor of being the Creative Director for the 2012 Olympics teams by Adidas. How awesome is that! She went on to team up with H&M in November 2005 and created a hugely popular line that broke records when it sold out worldwide. Stella now has a kids line at the Gap that covers the age group of newborns to 12 years old.
Well done Stella McCartney!!! Good for you for going after what you loved in life and accomplishing so much.
