Stella McCartney is back in London

Stella Mccartney made a brief appearence on the catwalk last night after showing her spring summer 08 collection for Adidas in London for the first time. The show, which closed London Fashion Week last night, revealled Stella's latest sportwear creations on a bright green astroturfed catwalk. Not to be outdone by other returning Brits this season (Luella had a live rock band and Matthew Williamson had Prince) Stella had her own rock legend front row for the show, in the shape of her dad Sir Paul Mccartney. We particularly loved the ruffle hem, nude dress...if exercise clothes are going to look like that this season we might actually join the gym!

The Establishment Alasdhair Willis -Stella McCartney

Alasdhair Willis sips a cup of chamomile tea at an achingly trendy spot in London. We have not been followed here by the paparazzi, which is a bit of a bonus, since Willis and his wife, the fashion designer Stella McCartney, tend to spike their adrenaline. Particularly now, as the couple are expecting their third child. “Is that known?” Willis asks in seemingly genuine surprise when I offer my congratulations. Yet we’ve not met up today because of Stella and the two, soon to be three, children — though they loom large in the conversation and are, he happily admits, the most important thing in his life — but because of the big success that Willis, 37, is enjoying on his own account. In only two and a half years, Established & Sons, the modern furniture and design company that Willis began with three art-school chums, the designers Sebastian Wrong and Mark Holmes, and Tamara Caspersz, is already one of the coolest on the planet. Not only have they changed the equation between furniture and art, but they’ve also put the glamour and the wit back into British design. Read more:

No Roo Leather

Stella McCartney: I am not using kangaroo leather! 29/08/2007 01:37 Latest News: Designer STELLA McCARTNEY has hit back at misleading press reports that suggest she's using kangaroo leather in her new Adidas shoes. Longtime animal right activist MCCartney was horrified when British tabloid reports about her links to the sportswear chain were misconstrued as the story spread around the world. Although Adidas has a history of using kangaroo leather in their products, McCartney insists she won't be using any leather in her shoes. McCartney's spokesman Stephane Jaspar says, "Stella McCartney is a lifelong vegetarian and committed advocate of animal rights and doesn't use any leather or fur in any of her collections. "All the accessories designed in collaboration with Adidas are made with alternative to leather: high performance fabrics, which don't use any animal by products including kangaroo leather."
