Stella McCartney was born September 13, 1971 in London, England is a British fashion designer. McCartney learned her deal at St Martins College of Art & Design. She was almost immediately successful, with her graduation collection being sported at the graduation show by supermodels Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell. The show complete front-page news, and the whole collection was sold to Tokio, a London boutique. In 1997 McCartney was chosen chief designer at Paris fashion house Chloe, following in the footsteps of Karl Lagerfeld. Her designs enjoyed substantial commercial success. In 2001 she resigned from the house in order to enter into an eponymous joint undertaking with the Gucci Group. In 2003 she prolonged her brand into perfume. Stella is the daughter of previous Beatle Paul McCartney and vegetarian food entrepreneur Linda McCartney. Some in the press have suggested that McCartney's meteoric rise during the fashion industry was partially helped by her having famous parents. In exacting, it has been suggested that Vendome, owners of the Chloe house, chosen her as much for the wave of publicity the appointment would make as her talent. In recent times, though, most commentators have said that she is completely capable. Certainly, Vogue magazine wrote that "her first collection for the house Chloe, shown in Paris in October 1997, fast dispelled any doubts concerning her talent."
