STELLA MCCARTNEY
Stella Nina McCartney, OBE (born 13 September 1971) is an English fashion designer. She is the daughter of former Beatles member Sir Paul McCartney and American photographer and animal rights activist Linda McCartney.
Stella Nina McCartney ,was born in Lambeth, London, England, the second child of Beatles bassist Paul McCartney and American photographer Linda McCartney.
She is named after her maternal great-grandmothers (both of Linda
McCartney's grandmothers were named Stella). As a young girl, McCartney
travelled the globe with her parents and their pop music group Wings, along with her siblings: older half-sister Heather (who was legally adopted by Paul McCartney), older sister Mary, and younger brother James. According to her father, the name of Wings was inspired by Stella's difficult birth. As his daughter was being born by emergency caesarean section, Paul sat outside the operating room and prayed that she be born "on the wings of an angel."Wings toured from shortly after her birth in 1971 until 1980.
Despite their fame, the McCartneys wanted their children to lead as
normal a life as possible, so Stella and her siblings attended local
state schools in East Sussex, one of them being Bexhill College. McCartney has said that while attending state school, she was a victim of bullying,as well as being a bully herself.
Born and raised in London and the English countryside, Stella McCartney graduated from Central St Martins
in 1995. A signature style of sharp tailoring, natural confidence and
sexy femininity was apparent in her first collection. In 1997, she was
appointed the Creative Director of Chloe in Paris.
Stella McCartney became interested in designing clothes as a youth.
At age thirteen, she made her first jacket. Three years later, she
interned for Christian Lacroix, working on his first fashion design collection, honing her skills working for Edward Sexton, her father's Savile Row tailor for a number of years.
