One of the most talented names in the fashion world: Who is Stella McCartney?

We have known Stella McCartney for years, the talented daughter of Beatles legend Paul McCartney and photographer Linda McCartney.

Born in England in 1971, the only daughter of Paul McCartney, a member of the famous music group Beatles, and photographer Linda McCartney, Stella McCartney begins her design journey by being influenced by her free-spirited mother, an animal rights advocate. Everything changes for McCartney, who is understood to be very prone to art and literature during her education and is thought to be planning for the future when she designs and sews her own jacket at the age of 12. On her way to improve herself, after graduating from Central St Martins College of Art & Design in 1995, she has the opportunity to do an internship with a successful name like Christian Lacroix and develops her spirit and technique by nurturing her to become a master one day.

Stella Nina McCartney (born 13 September 1971) is an English fashion designer. She is a daughter of British singer-songwriter Paul McCartney and the late American photographer and animals rights activist Linda McCartney. Like her parents, McCartney is a firm supporter of animal rights and environmentalism, and is particularly known for her use of vegetarian and animal-free alternatives in her work. Since 2005, she has designed an activewear collection for Adidas.

The designer, who has been greatly influenced by her family, including her travels, reveals her different point of view with her sharp tailoring in the first collection she prepared for graduation, while also using her friends Naomi Campbel and Kate Moss at the fashion show to reveal himself. After this remarkable show, she was appointed as the Creative Director of Chloe in Paris in 1997. In an interview published in England; “I was quite young to be a brand designer, and when I couldn't decide what to do, I decided that I needed to reflect my original drawings and started working with that belief,” she says. Thanks to McCartney, the sales of the Chloe brand have increased fivefold, and thus the brand has added a designer to its team that makes it different in the fashion world and has desirable products.

Stella McCartney started the process of creating her own brand by exhibiting her first collection in Paris in October 2001, with the partnership initiative she made with the Gucci Group, and opened her first store in New York in 2002. Today, the designer, whose success is riveted during fashion weeks and who, as of 2012, runs 23 independent stores in fashion centers such as Paris and Milan, continues to grow confidently.

Launching its first perfume under the name of 'Stella' in 2003, it is starting to exist in a new field besides ready-made clothing and accessories. Having modern, cool, and wearable designs, the designer accelerates collaborations with many companies. In her "Adidas by Stella McCartney" collection, which she prepared in September 2004, she received a passing grade from the critics by presenting her successful work for sports disciplines such as gym, yoga, tennis, swimming, and golf. Her work with Adidas continues in a professional line until today.

Stella, who has four children, prepared a "kids collection" in 2010 for the comfort and style of children and it attracted a lot of attention. McCartney, who continues to work in an effort to reach all children in the world inspired by her own children, is a reason for preference by preparing "accessible" children's collections in her boutiques in different countries of the world, although she is known for addressing high-class parents.

Despite being the daughter of the legendary Paul McCartney, McCartney, who has her own thoughts, does not hide behind her father's name, and has a solid place in the fashion world with her self-confidence, is among the most promising designers. McCartney, who has received 'achievement, talent' awards since she started to express her unique style and was most recently awarded the Red Carpet Award by the British Fashion Council in 2011, has become an indispensable designer for everyone with the classic line she exhibits in her collections.

Kate Winslet, Blake Lively, Liv Tyler, Kate Hudson and Gwyneth Paltrow are among the celebrities who admire the designer's collection pieces, which usually include pastel tones, solid color pieces, silk fabrics, and zipper details in her designs. She prefers McCartney's designs as indispensable pieces in the combinations of street fashion designers such as Alexa Chung and Sienna Miller.

The designer, who produces wearable designs, always offers its buyers comfort and elegance together. She stands out clearly, away from the effort to follow the trends, and actually takes her place among those who set the trends. She receives praise from many of her colleagues in the fashion world as one of the few inspirations that bring to life designs that fully understand women by putting confidence in her clothes.

She creates a self-confident sexy woman under every simple design she uses.

February 2022

British Jewish fashion designer Stella McCartney, one of the most talented names in the fashion world, created a brand new image for Minnie Mouse, one of the oldest and iconic figures of the Disney world, special for the 30th-anniversary celebration of Disneyland Paris...

You know Minnie Mouse, one of Disney's most established figures. She has been in our lives since 1928 with her classic red polka dot dress. Deciding to create a new image for the character of Minnie Mouse for the 30th anniversary of Disneyland Paris, Disney signed with Stella McCartney. Instead of her red polka dot dress and yellow shoes, Minnie now wears an elegant tuxedo with black polka dots on blue. This new take on the classic polka dots makes Minnie Mouse a symbol of progress.
