fashion animal thinking
I think the moment that I'm very proud of is building a business without using animals. And, hopefully, changing people's perception of how you can do luxury fashion.
thinking animal murder
I think it's very wrong to have the mass murder, every single day, of millions of animals.
animal shoes vegetarian
The really great thing about my shoe store is that there's not one dead animal in it.
animal impact belief
The beliefs I was raised with - to respect animals and to be aware of nature, to understand that we share this planet with other creatures - have had a huge impact on me.
fashion animal years
The consumption of animals - whether you're wearing them or eating them - is extraordinarily damaging to the planet. There are over a billion animals killed a year for food, half of which don't even get eaten. And there's over 50 million animals killed just for fashion.
thinking animal people
There's nothing fashionable about a dead animal that has been cruelly killed just because some people think it looks cool to wear.
beautiful animal skins
Depending on the season, between 20 and 30 percent of my collections contain some sort of eco or sustainable element, whether it's a beautiful organic fabric or a natural dye. And obviously I don't use animal skins or fur of any kind.
animal skins fabric
As a designer, I like to work with fabrics that don't bleed; that's why I avoid all animal skins.
animal shoes use
The really great thing about my shop is that there's not one dead animal in it. ... Manolo's got a load of fabric shoes as well! We use plastic, fabric, rubber- anything but leather. I almost feel like I've been put here to show everyone that it's unnecessary.
clothes felt proud wrong
I've always felt there was something wrong about making high-priced clothes - and I am really proud of the quality.
afford audience collection designs great love people speak stella wider
This one off collection is a 'best of' Stella McCartney. So many people come up to me and say 'I love your designs but could never afford them'. This collaboration is a great way to speak to a wider audience and let them get to know me and my designs better
When you find the person that you settle down with, I guess you mellow. They are taming you, aren't they? Or you're taming them.
kids maybe overly paranoid
I don't know, maybe I'm overly paranoid that they're going to be spoiled, but I want to keep them going as kids for as long as I can. I want to keep them innocent and free.
age
There's no excuse for fur in this day and age.
