Stella Mccartney Research Paper
The beginning
Stella Mccartney was born in Lambeth, London on September 13th in 1971. She was the second child of former Beatle bassist Sir Paul McCartney and Linda Eastman. At the age of thirteen, she became interested in designing clothes, when she was making her first jacket. Only three years later, she interned for Christian Lacroix, working on his first fashion design collection.
When she finished high school, she studied her foundation at Revensbourne College of Design and Communication, fashion design at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in the early 1990s. At her graduation in 1995, she had to show her collection. Friend and supermodels Naomi Campbell, Yasmin Le Bon and Kate Moss modeled the collection, for free. This show made front-page news, and the whole collection was sold to Tokio, a London boutique.
Career
In March 2007 McCartney was appointed Creative Director of Paris fashion house Chloe, following in the footsteps of Karl Lagerfeld. Karl Lagerfeld …show more content…
didn’t like the choice of Chloe. He thought Stella should have made a name in music, not in fashion. But he was incorrect, because McCartney’s designs have enjoyed a great success.
In 2001, McCartney resigned from Chloe in order to enter into a venture with the Gucci group. She opened her first store in 2002. She now operates 16 freestanding stores in locations including Manhattan’s Meatpacking District, London’s Mayfair, LA’s West Hollywood, Las Vegas, Paris’ Palais Royal and Milan, and recently opened doors in Rome and Dallas. Her collections are now distributed in over 50 countries through 600 wholesale accounts including specialty shops and departments stores.
In 2003, Stella McCartney launched her first perfume ‘ Stella’ and in January 2007, McCartney launched a skincare line called CARE. It is a real organic line and includes seven products, from cleansing milk made with lemon balm an apricot to green tea and linden blossom floral water. In 2008, she created a lingerie line and in 2010 she launched a Kids collections.
Collaborations
Stella McCartney designed a lot of clothes for celebrities. But she also launched a joint-venture line with Adidas, establishing a long-term partnership with the corporation in September 2004. This line is a sports collection for women. It’s a collection for swim, gym, running, tennis and winter sports. In 2007 Stella designed also a Gym Yoga spring/summer collection that was inspired by ballet and dance uniforms. Stella’s favorite pieces in the collection come with a special reflector keychain. First the keychain was in the shape of a pink heart and later it was in the shape of a gray wolf’s head. Her Adidas contract was extended until 2010.
Stella designed in 2005 a range of clothing and accessories for H&M to boost public awareness of her own brand and to create more affordable options for her fans.
The line was released in November of that year and sold out almost immediately on launch day.
In January 2008, McCartney’s collaboration with lingerie label Bendon was scheduled to be released to department stores, specialty stores and Stella McCartney stores.
She was also scheduled to release a line of handbags for LeSportsac. This collection was a great success.
Style and collections
Stella is just like her parent a vegetarian. She is really against fur and leather. You will never see it in her collections. Her collections are easy wearable and at the same time directional. McCartney’s line blends sweet element like pastel silks and ribbons with street-worthy rocker accents, like industrial zippers. All clothes are animal-free, including the shoes, which are outfitted from a leather-like plant
derivative.
