McCartney studied her foundation at Ravensbourne College of Design and Communication, followed by Fashion Design at Central Saint Martins in the early 1990s, graduating in 1995. Three years later, she interned for Christian Lacroix, working on her first haute couture collection, honing her skills working for Edward Sexton (her father's Savile Row tailor) for a number of years. At the age of 13, she designed her first jacket. McCartney became interested in designing clothes as a youth. McCartney has said that while attending state school, she was a victim of bullying yet had been a bully herself. ĭespite their fame, the McCartneys wanted their children to live as normal of a life as possible, so Stella and her siblings attended local state schools in East Sussex, one of them being Bexhill College. As his daughter was being born by emergency caesarean section, Paul sat outside the operating room and prayed that she would be born 'on the wings of an angel'. According to her father, the name of Wings was inspired by Stella's difficult delivery. As a girl, McCartney travelled the globe with her parents and their group Wings, along with her siblings: older half-sister Heather (who was legally adopted by Paul), older sister Mary, and younger brother James. Her mother, Linda Eastman McCartney, was of Jewish ancestry. She is named after her maternal great-grandmothers (both of Linda's grandmothers were named Stella). McCartney was born on 13 September 1971 at King's College Hospital in Camberwell, London. Since 2005, she has designed an activewear collection for Adidas. Like her parents, McCartney is a firm supporter of animal rights and environmentalism, and is particularly known for her use of vegetarian and animal-free alternatives in her work. She is a daughter of British singer-songwriter Paul McCartney and the late American photographer and animals rights activist Linda McCartney. Stella Nina McCartney CBE (born 13 September 1971) is an English fashion designer. Beatrice McCartney (paternal half-sister)
