I am a fashion designer. I'm ...

I am a fashion designer. I'm not an environmentalist. When I get up in the morning, number one I'm a mother and a wife, and number two I design clothes. So the main thing I need to do is create, hopefully, exquisitely beautiful, desirable objects for my customer.

Quotes from the same author

Running is a huge category for us.

I work out - and I think most people do - and I want to encourage women and inspire them in a way that fits in with their lifestyle.

My mum taught me to have a soul.
 Stella McCartney
I feel like a different person since my mum passed away, like I'm driving a ship with my husband alongside me and we're leading these four children into unknown waters.
 Stella McCartney
I think my mum was really very ahead of her time. She wore very little makeup. She really explored the way that she wore clothes in a very honest way.

But mostly, for me, it was just that she was an incredibly honest and sort of natural person.
