Londoner Stella McCartney launched her own line upon graduation from Central St. Martins and was soon appointed creative director for the House of Chloe in Paris. After enormous success with Chloe, she established her own fashion house in 2001, remaining true to her strict vegetarian philosophy using no leather or fur. An exclusive costume designer for tours by Madonna and Annie Lennox, and a collaborator with cult cartoonist Robert Crumb, Stella McCartney is a world-renown artist, always in demand.
