McCartney Times

English fashion designer is the daughter of Beatle Paul McCartney and photographer Linda McCartney. In 1995, she graduated from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London with her supermodel friends Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, and Yasmin Le Bon modeling her graduation collection at the school’s runway show. Two years later, she was appointed Creative Director of Parisian fashion house Chloé. In 2001, McCartney launched her own fashion house in conjunction with Gucci Group; she now runs seventeen Stella McCartney stores in locations like West Hollywood, CA; Mayfair, London; Soho, New York and Palais Royal, Paris.

Over the course of her career McCartney has expanded her brand into perfume, organic skincare, lingerie, children’s clothing, and activewear lines. She was appointed Great Britain’s Creative Director for the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, marking the first time a top designer had designed all activewear worn by a nation’s competitive teams in both games. McCartney has received awards from Glamour, Elle, and the British Fashion Council, and was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire in 2013.
