What you wear in the evening is important for women because it’s so personal, and it’s so complicated to get it right. I like trousers for evening, especially when they have that width and attitude to them. Stella McCartney Read Quote
Strength on its own in a woman is quite abrasive and not terribly attractive all the time. Stella McCartney Read Quote
Growing up, I was always really inspired by Disney, and I had a great love of everything they created. My mum was huge fan, and she used to collect stills, and so they were all around the house, and we very much grew up on the early Disney films. Stella McCartney Read Quote
I guess my favourite Disney film was ‘Snow White,’ which has a really dark moment when the evil queen turns into a witch and makes the poison apple. It was terrifying in the same way ‘Maleficent’ is. Stella McCartney Read Quote
I’m a woman designing for women, and there are so many layers to that. On the one hand, it brings an effortlessness, but it also means that I think and overthink every detail, whether it’s physical or mental or even – in some sense – spiritual. Stella McCartney Read Quote
I can debate for weeks whether a trouser should sit on the waist, or a centimetre below, or on the hip, whether it should have a zip or a button, because I find personally that a detail like that can have a massive impact on how I carry myself that day. If I wear a slouchy jean, that will affect my posture and my whole manner. Stella McCartney Read Quote
My mum had a massive influence on me, not just in what she wore and how she looked, but in her spirit. She was married to one of the most famous men in the world, and she didn’t wear any makeup, ever. I mean, have you ever seen the wife of a man like that rock up with no makeup on? Because I haven’t since. Stella McCartney Read Quote
What I really want, what I always really want, is baked potato and grilled cheese. But then I’d be really fat. Stella McCartney Read Quote
I’m obsessed with not chucking away food. I’m lucky enough to have a gardener, so we grow sweetcorn, tomatoes, beetroots, cabbages, pumpkins, lettuce. I’m trying to get into blanching it and freezing so I don’t have to buy veg over the winter, but then you need loads of freezers, and that’s not ideal. Stella McCartney Read Quote
As a British fashion designer, it is an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be creative director of Team GB as the hosting nation of the London 2012 Olympic Games. Stella McCartney Read Quote
