STELLA MCCARTNEY

Leading advocates like Stella McCartney also use fashion as a voice for activism through collections and campaigns.

The English fashion designer is “a product of the arts” (Taylor M, 2020) with her parents notably popular in the public eye. Her father Paul McCartney has influenced his eclectic and creativity essences into her fashion spirit, whilst her mother is perceived as the muse for her brand and its values. As an outspoken animal rights activist, McCartney’s mother infused her knowledge and thirst for an animal cruelty-free world into Stella from an adolescent.

Since graduating Central Saint Martins in 1995, McCartney’s style of sharp tailoring and nonchalance has been underpinned by a vegetarian fabrication- a core component of her brand. The 51-year-old designer continues to use her platform as a foundation for advocacy and education, pushing this through collaborative partnering’s to amplify her messages further.
