Glamour Magazine Honors The 2009 Women of the Year - Inside

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.

Stella McCartney “Harper’s Bazaar Best Dressed Woman” 2009

Time's 100 Most Influential People In The World

Stella McCartney has been named Harper’s Bazaar Best Dressed Woman of 2009.

Stella was chosen by a panel of fashion experts that included designers Roland Mouret, Christopher Kane and Christian Louboutin, and The Guardian columnist Hadley Freeman and Lucy Yeomans, editor of Harper’s Bazaar.

“Stella articulates the values of her mother Linda, and creates sexy clothes that women want to wear. She dresses for herself and her husband – I really like that,” said Mouret.

Speaking of values, Stella’s make her the best dressed on our list too, as the vegetarian fashion designer not only refuses to wear leather and fur, but keeps these materials out of her fashion collections.

Stella’s most recent creative project is a collaboration with BabyGap and GapKids, Stella’s first clothing line for children.

Fellow vegetarian Alexa Chung came in third place on Harper’s list.

Congratulations to Stella and Alexa!

We’re proud that veggie women came out on top!

Rihanna Stella McCartney Bag

After seeing what could possibly have been a family of animals on Rihanna for the photo shoot for her new album, our nerves are starting to subside now that RiRi’s been spotting wearing what looks to be a Stella McCartney bag.

According to BagThatStyle.com, Rihanna is wearing a Stella McCartney chain detailed Tote, which can be found at Net-A-Porter.

Yes, there are always knockoffs and some designer could be copying Stella’s style, but we’re thinking a superstar like Rihanna goes for the real deal.

At any rate, you can grab yourself a handbag like Rihanna and Run This Town and any other town without leather!

Stella McCartney, Blood Type O, And Vegetarian Diet

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, October 27th, 2009 in Fashion, Food & Drink.

McCartney Family Launch Meat Free Monday - Photocall

Could Stella McCartney‘s blood type doom her to a meat eating diet one day?

In an article from the Times Online:

“Even now, I exercise regularly, and I’ve still put on weight in the past few weeks. If I eat wheat, potatoes or rice, all the nice stuff, I just blow up. I’m O positive, which, apparently, is the meat-eating blood type — obviously not great for me.”

Stella’s talking about the controversial Blood Type Diet, advocated by Peter D’Adamo, who advocated eating certain types of foods based on the Blood Types of O, A, B, and AB.

However, missing from D’Adamo’s prescribed program is the lack of clinical data.

Plus, Type O’s are said to do best on high protein diets-not just meat.

So hold the seitan and potatoes if you must.

But pile high the dozens of other high protein vegetarian foods on your plate.

Stella McCartney “Gap Kids” “Baby Gap” Clothing November 2009

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, October 14th, 2009 in Children, Fashion.

Natural Resources Defense Council 11th Annual Forces For Nature Benefit

Stella McCartney is about to launch her collection of children’s clothing this November in the UK, France, Japan, United States and Canada, as a collaboration between Gap Kids and Baby Gap.

As expected, Stella’s collections for the little ones will contain no fur or leather. However, there will be wool.

Stella herself is a mother of three children, but intends to stick with adult fashions as this will be a one time only collection.

When designing the collection, Stella thought of both durability and comfort.

“Perfect little kids are not really very me,” Stella said, at a W magazine photo shoot. “I wanted to have a bit of realness. When you’re talking about this kind of accessibility and children it’s really important that you feel comfortable throwing the lot of it in the washing machine and not being too precious with it.”

“To me, the fabric is so important, especially on a child, as they are so aware when things are scratchy.”

The collection will range from $14-$128 and will feature everything from blankets to sweaters to military jackets for boys and girls.
