Stella McCartney, the daughter of rock legend Paul McCartney and his first wife Linda McCartney, is an English fashion designer.
Born on September 13, 1971, in Camberwell, London’s King’s College Hospital, McCartney is named after her maternal great-grandmothers as both of Linda’s grandmothers were named Stella.
McCartney’s mother is Jewish. Her childhood was eventful as she traveled the globe with her parents’ band, Wings, and her siblings.
McCartney’s siblings are her older half-sister Heather from her mother’s earlier marriage, legally adopted by Paul, and younger brother James.
Stella McCartney’s claim to Rock fame is that the fashion designer’s difficult delivery inspired the name of the band Wings.
She was born by emergency cesarean section, and her father, Paul, stated that during her birth, he sat outside the operating room, praying.
In his prayer, the rockstar prayed that Stella would be born on the wings of an angel. Thus the name of the band, Wings.
Despite the fame of the McCartneys, both Paul and Linda wanted their children to live as normal of a life as possible. To that end, Stella and her siblings attended local state schools.
McCartney has stated that while attending these state schools, she was a victim of bullying but was also a bully herself.
Like her parents, McCartney is a huge supporter of environmentalism and animal rights and is prominent for using vegetarian and animal free-alternatives in her work.
