Stella McCartney Is Changing Fashion From Within
By Naina Bajekal

Creator of the first ever vegan “It bag”—the slouchy faux-leather Falabella tote with a sleek silver-chain trim—McCartney has spent her career trying to show the world that ethical choices don’t have to mean compromising on glamour. Since the launch of her namesake label in 2001, she has created luxury clothing that celebrates modern femininity—her brand is a closet staple for countless celebrities—while eschewing leather, feathers, and fur. She also made a name for herself as one of the cool girls of the noughties, out with Kate Moss, Madonna, and Gwyneth Paltrow. (A 2000 Vogue profile called her “a girl who loves to make a little trouble, get a rise, stir things up.”)

Two decades on, she remains a fixture on the high-fashion circuit, making clothing that is known as much for its sharp tailoring, minimal lines, and bold aesthetics as it is for its eco credentials.

no.

Thanks for the link. I'm generally sceptical about the idea of changing something from within. But you can still try and make your own individual footprint the best you can, and I admire her for sticking to her convictions which I imagine hasn't been easy. There can't be many fashion designers who come with their own team of scientists.

at those losses though - over 38 million dollars for 3 years running. I know recent times have been very, very strange but is that standard for the industry?

I'm all for changing something from within - I'm just doubtful about the feasibility, most of the time.
