Stella McCartney’s star has never stopped rising. We meet her to talk sustainability, spider silk and the importance of having the courage of your convictions.

Tenacity is not an unusual trait to find in a designer, but Stella McCartney takes it to a whole new level. For years, hers was a lone voice in luxury fashion, fighting to be heard on the importance of ethical production and sustainable resources. But she didn’t ever back down, even in the face of near-unanimous agreement that her business model would never succeed. 

Fast forward to today, and that much-invoked tenacity has paid off. While fashion is finally catching up to the conversation, McCartney remains ahead of the curve, always innovating, always challenging herself - and in turn, the industry - to find a better way. We caught up with her to discuss synthetic spider silk, her organic carrot theory and why she wants people to notice the woman, not the outfit, first.
