Always a vegetarian, the designer uses neither leather nor fur for her creations. The Stella McCartney collections range from ready-to-wear for women, men, accessories, lingerie, eyewear, perfumes up to a line for child. Stella McCartney's commitment to sustainability, evident in all her collections, is an integral part of the brand's philosophy, which aims to be a responsible, honest and up-to-date company.
