Stella McCartney Brand Book

STELLA McCARTNEY
STELLA McCARTNEY
DESIGNER
“Stella’s style has been influential
because she is her customer,” Tom Ford
once said of his younger colleague.
And she obviously agrees: “I’m always
designing what I want to wear,” she
told Vogue in 2004. Some of her most
noteworthy pieces include her Falabella
bag, Elyse shoes, tailored suiting, and
classic pieces made with innovative
processes and materials.
What McCartney has gravitated to over the
years is a mix of Savile Row tailoring, filmy
lingerie, sexy footwear—and a bit of slouch.
As the daughter of a Beatle, McCartney might
be rock royalty, but neither she nor her clothing
has ever stood on ceremony. “It’s not about
what it looks like in the studio or on the runway,”
the designer told WWD. “It’s what it
looks like on a real person that matters. That
isn’t easy, but it’s what’s fun.”
