Stella McCartney graduated from Central St. Martins in 1995, and after only two collections, in 1997 she was appointed Creative Director of Chloe in Paris, where she enjoyed great success. In 2001 she launched her own fashion house, where--as a lifelong vegetarian--she never uses any leather or fur in her designs. There are 16 Stella McCartney freestanding stores operating in cities all over the world, and Stella's designs are distributed to over 50 countries. Stella McCartney Kids was launched in 2010, catering to newborns and children up to age 12. With a youthful touch and tailored styling, Stella McCartney Kids emanates fashion forward taste and and the innocence of children.
