Stella McCartney says that her late mother, Linda, has been her inspiration in her work and would have been proud of her efforts to promote environmental issues. Stella is launching an eco-organic range of products in her fashion business, and credits her mother with bringing her up with an awareness of all things related to the environment. As we know, Linda and Paul McCartney were staunch vegetarians and Paul, to this day, still shuns leather, fur, or any product made from an animal, and promotes vegetarianism and animal rights at any opportunity.

Stella said:

“I think mum would be really proud of me because I have actually done something in fashion. I’ve added to the McCartney pie. There’s no one else who does what I do and I love that.

“My mother was amazing. So much of what I do and what I stand for comes from her and the way I was brought up. In the fashion world, I’m viewed as this mad hippy because I won’t use leather or fur and I bang on about taking environmental issues seriously and being vegetarian.”

I admire Stella and her commitment to what she believes in. I think she is very much her own person (especially in the often pretentious, cut-throat fashion industry), and I too, believe that Linda would have been extremely proud of her daughter.
