fashion work-out bits
I ride my bike, I work out, I do a bit of, er, dancey things.
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.
fashion facts used
I used to get embarrassed about the fact I liked fashion. I still get a bit cringy.
fashion and-love high-fashion
I personally love sportswear, and love using it in high fashion.
fashion technology thinking
I love that you can have the language between the two worlds of technology and fashion, because I don't think that many designers get to do that.
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.
fashion together earth
I was brought up to understand that we are all here on planet earth together.
dream photography fashion
When you think of fashion photography, it's a dream. It's like we all want to be those women. We want to wear those dresses.
beautiful mother fashion
I am a fashion designer. I'm not an environmentalist. When I get up in the morning, number one I'm a mother and a wife, and number two I design clothes. So the main thing I need to do is create, hopefully, exquisitely beautiful, desirable objects for my customer.
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.
