Stella McCartney

Stella McCartney was born in London, England, on September 13, 1971. She is the second of three children born to ex-Beatle Paul McCartney and his late wife, Linda. While her birth coincided with the Beatles' disbandment, her early years were molded by her father's hectic recording and touring schedule. Stella and her sister Mary, brother James, and half-sister Heather, a daughter from Linda's first marriage traversed the world with their parents' new band, Wings.

Following Wings' dissolution, the McCartneys moved to an organic farm in Sussex, where they immersed themselves in rural life by rearing farm animals and farming vegetables.

In 1995 from London's Central St. Martins College of Art & Design, McCartney made a splash in the fashion world by inviting friends and supermodels Campbell and Moss to model a range of her clothing. She was hired as the head designer of the fashion label Chloe in 1997.

While some speculated that McCartney's celebrity aided her ascension, she quietly as possible established that she was deserving of the job. Her products successfully appealed to the aspirations and desires of young women, and she was widely regarded as a great success throughout her time at the company.
