Stella McCartney “Glamour Woman Of The Year” 2009
Written by Vegetarian Star on November 11th, 2009 in Fashion.
Stella McCartney was one of 11 women named Glamour Woman of the Year this week.
Stella received the award for both her clothing enterprise and her work as a vegetarian and animal activist.
“I’ve never really paused,” she told Glamour. “If I had time to stop and think about what I was doing, I might have run for the hills!”
Glamour cites Stella as refusing to use leather and fur in her designs long before green and ethical became chic.
Other women of the year include Dr. Maya Angelou, Dr. Jane Aronson of Worldwide Orphans Foundation; journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee held captive by North Korea and released; Marissa Mayer of Google; the One Million Signatures Campaign that calls for an end to gender inequality in Iran; comedian Amy Poehler; Susan Rice, the first female African American U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations; singer Rihanna; California First Lady Maria Shriver and tennis athlete Serena Williams.
