Stella McCartney Named Official Olympics Designer

Stella McCartney has been chosen as the creative director for the British Olympic Team!

Stella’s title means she’ll be overseeing everything the athletes wear, as well as the fan wear. Her partnership with the Olympic brand Team GB marks the first time a fashion designer will be responsible for the attire of the entire British team, including for the 2012 London Games.

Stella called her role, “an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” and her words may be more than sentiment for other fashion designers.

No other designer has been granted involvement with the Olympic games at such a high level, the closest coming to the honor being Ralph Lauren being responsible for the opening ceremony outfits for team USA at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

“I love Loyale! I wear their tops a lot, and they have great everyday pieces, which I just adore. Bahar Shahpar has beautiful skirts and dresses. Other labels I like are Organic by John Patrick (another great label for everyday pieces), Linda Loudermilk (the mother of green design can be very inventive), and EcoSkin for casual dresses.  For shoes, I love Beyond Skin, they have a wonderfully huge selection of shoes, I specifically love the vintage-y looking pieces. Olsenhaus is a new line I’m just loving. I’m obsessed with the holographic shoes! And then of course, Stella McCartney is the first big designer not to use leather. Her shoes are expensive but so worth it. They’re very well-made. Also, Cri de Coeur makes some great boots.”

Stella McCartney Mary McCartney–Who Would You

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010 in Fashion, Polls/Surveys, Who Would You.

Stella McCartney is known as the fashion designer in the famous family that launched their Meat Free Monday campaign in the UK aimed at getting people to eat less meat to save the environment. But lately, Mary McCartney has put her artistic talents behind clothing, creating a 100% organic cotton t-shirt that benefits an orphanage in India.

Between the two vegetarian sisters, who would you rather…

Stella McCartney debuted her Spring collection in the same building where Jonathan Horowitz’s “Go Vegan” display is housed–the Gavin Brown’s Art Gallery. Coincidence?

The vegetarian designer who shuns fur and leather in her fashions, said she decided to embellish a little this season, going with more bright colors and prints on items like cotton jackets.

“I just love spring,” Stella said, according to the New York Times. “I find it so hopeful and so uplifting, as far as seasons go. Last season my collection was so devoid of prints, so for spring I really wanted to make a statement.”

A Van Leeuwen Ice Cream truck was present to provide treats and the ice cream company has a rich tradition of sustainable and animal friendly practices.

Persia White has an exclusive interview with Radar Online where she dishes the dirt about vegan fashion.

“At first Leather was hard, because of giving away all of my shoes,” Persia says. “Lately, it’s changed. There is a world that is growing and expanding that is cruelty-free designers!”

Natural Resources Defense Council 11th Annual Forces For Nature Benefit

Stella McCartney has just opened her first clothing store in Milan.

The New York Times is reporting the store has a sustainable oak parquet floor, manufactured for the same furniture company her husband owns.

Stella is looking to make the entire store environmentally friendly, as she hopes to attain LEED certification, a standard implying the building is using resources like water and energy most efficiently, reducing CO2 emissions and maintaining a quality indoor environment.

The vegetarian designer who refuses to use leather or fur in any of her collections routinely makes decisions in her business to reach a higher level of ethics, which include using organic cotton, low impact dyes and manufacturing in countries that do not use child labor.

Stella McCartney has launched a new perfume, Stella Sheer.

According to nstperfume, Stella Sheer is a limited edition, lighter version of a perfume launched in 2003.

Not only does the name sound pretty, but you can rest assure vegetarian Stella would never put any animal ingredients into her scents, like that musk scent extracted from deer or civets.

Thank goodness it doesn’t smell like a wild animal either, as Sugarscape reports the scent to be mixture of “organic rose with sparkling fruit, delicate floral and soothing amber.”

Madonna Daughter Lourdes Leon Gives Stella McCartney Advice

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, March 31st, 2010 in Fashion.

'Nine' New York Premiere

Madonna is set to release her new teen clothing line named Material Girl.

The 1980s Material Girl probably got teenage daughter Lourdes Leon‘s advice on the new line, considering every other fashion designer does.

Madonna told US Magazine, “She also comes to my photo and video shoots, pulls outfits together and gives her input to a lot of my fashion-designer friends. Whether it’s Marc Jacobs or Stella McCartney, they always ask her what she thinks.”

If Lourdes gives Stella McCartney the thumbs up or down, she may be one step ahead of her mother’s sense of style by appreciating fashions created without leather or fur.

Madonna was criticized a few years back for wearing a fur coat made from chinchillas.

Lourdes played a big part in the Material Girl clothing line.

“I’ve been involved in business meetings, but Lola’s really doing the work. I just sit in the corner on my BlackBerry.”

Let’s hope Lourdes continues to take the wheel in this teen fashion line and steer far away from any from the animal hide lane.
