Stella McCartney In Conversation for the launch of

[@samuelotengantwi7748]

i cant thank you enough BOF, for holding this interview with Stella, its so informative! I'm a second year BA Fashion Design student from Ghana and Iv always had interest in Sustainability in Fashion, and to my mates and even some lecturers in my school, the idea is just unheard of and to them a waste of my time. But watching this interview has really opened my mind and edged me to keep working on.

It's so fuckin amazing to see Vivienne Westwood taking part in a Q&A. I fell in love with the situation.

[@MonicaLBeautyWonder]

There is much to be done by the entire industry, not just by the luxury brands. Kudos to Stella McCartney for not compromising her values and also remembering that we are human, we can make mistakes sometimes, but what is important is what we learn from the experience. And seeing Vivienne Westwood so interested in sustainability is just the icing on the cake!

[@rosannehart5688]

Loved showing this video to my Fashion Media students at SMU in Dallas.

[@juliamargaretcameron]

A very informative discussion about topics I really need to become more aware of as a consumer, and ways the entire fashion industry needs to re think and make crucial adjustments, in order to halt harming our planet. I must say that I found Stella McCartney's repeated retort to Vivienne Westwood : "You can work with me." "You can be my right hand" really obnoxious and disrespectful to not only an elder, but a living legend and trailblazer. Admirably Madame Westwood concealed being possibly insulted and chose to shrug it off most gracefully with a cheeky reply.

[@DarleneOctavia]

Such a wonderful interview/conversation! It's makes me so happy that Vivienne Westwood is interested in sustainable fashion! Change is happening, slowly but it's happening.

[@yayahomemovies4580]

how does this not have millions of views i mean WOW vivienne westwood in the crowd and participating? Amazing!

[@dedrajade5394]

Just as kind and beautiful as her sister Mary...kudos to Paul n Linda❤

[@hansolo1555]

I really want to know why Stella McCartney decided to collaborate with adidas. Her point of view sounds just ideal, but totally stands in contrast with adidas' attitude. This company has been involved in so many scandals over the last decades - even until now. This is just an older example: web.archive.org/web/20100929193658/www.commondreams.org/headlines02/0308-03.htm

[@AyikosMedley]

Never really heard Stella speak at length like that. Wow! She is very intelligent and intouch with the environment

[@Humayunkabir-nn4rh]

She is the real capable daughter of the more than legendary Sir Paul McCartney!!!

[@maroonrebel]

Jah love. Thanks for a wonderful conversation with my Shera, Stella McCartney. I learned a lot!!! Blessed love.

[@logbinder6330]

I can only hope for Stella to launch into menswear. She's such an inspiration though!

[@erlandandersen5782]

peter v Agree!

[@отец_стиля]

peter v it will be cool)) But, can you describe your vision?

[@griesser2000]

Very interesting interview and hopefully the fashion industry will learn to be more sustainable.

[@jedannahvieira1331]

This video made my night. What a great conversation lead by #BOFvoices between two powerhouse designers, teaching the world that sustainability is a journey, not a perfectionist exercise, and it begins with open sharing of information. I look forward to sharing with my DressShift.Com audience.

[@reanimato1]

Great woman. So inspiring. And her clothes are as ellegant and charming as Stella herself. I've been a fan of her designs for about 10 years.

[@joelbellz]

Stella please design sustainable men's fashions! I want to help the planet and I also love your aesthetic :). It's a win-win!!!

[@erlandandersen5782]

joelbellz The same from me, only I'd like to add I love Stella's ethics just as much as her aesthetics. Especially what she do for animals by speaking out for them, and by not using fur or leather in her products. The horrendous fear and sufferings forced upon animals in e.g fur farms is rather common knowledge today. The fact animals still are being treated in such disgustingly bad ways is a big disgrace to the human race. Hence Stella McCartney is an excellent example to follow for the rest of the fashion industry. And for the rest of us too.

[@ateliertammamsustainableco1049]

Great that Stella is promoting sustainability in luxury fashion at last but she wasn't the first...Designers like her need to put big budgets to supporting ethical supply chains so they can survive and thrive - the small indies (like us tammam.co.uk) who have been doing it for a long time don't have the resources to make a huge difference but should't be discounted, a little credit for being trailblazers please? Stella and Vivienne if you need an expert - give us a call - 12 years experience sustainable sourcing (from fibre to finishing) for luxury fashion....

[@osopmansion]

We truly appreciate your work promoting sustainability, we are on the same boat!

[@SurfergirlKH]

Stella is amazing. She really takes fridays off btw.

[@tommylottie6459]

Great interview. Gives us the confidence in the importance of #sustainability whatever the product. x

[@markanthonysangalang2772]

When she said something about fur I remembered Fendi's Haute Couture 2015

[@nickilovesdogs8137]

There are amazing leather substitutes out there which look, feel and even smell like leather. Fantastic fake croc, fake snake, fake cow and so on. Beautiful and thick and forever lasting materials which are claw proof as well.

[@j-mobi9209]

Substitute made made materials may often be more environmentally polluting and hazardous in the production and disposal process than using organic materials, granted killing animals for their skins is not an excuse to use it.

[@jamesskingley5751]

She said 'Man up a bit...' right?

[@anitasseo]

Yes! Hello to Anna Wintour, fur lover and promoter, that is watching on TV. Hi Anna! How are you??

[@willy1957]

Slavery is a big problem in fashion industry, remember Bangladesh

[@Whitesilver1970]

Why are you only concerned about animals as the only affected creatures by this industry. There are human beings working in those fur and leather factories in the most horrible conditions. They are working long hours and paid a pittance and even loose limbs. You need to visit those factories in Italy and you will be shocked to find out.

[@hansolo1555]

This might be the latest (24 May 2015) adidas-scandal: www.zeit.de/2015/21/adidas-arbeitsbedingungen (it's in german). So if you believe Stella McCartney they truly do not fit together.

[@valeriehitier9026]

Mais l’ industrie delà mode est plus presente qu’en’ importe quelle autre industrie : alors elle doit montrer l’état exemple elle est à l’ avant garde de toutes les autres …d’ ou cet intérêt à regarder de près quelles solutions nouvelles elle va apporter..!!…

[@patr70]

Anna Wintour is notr going to like this.........she loves her Fur.

[@anitasseo]

Awesome

[@dellplummer5173]

what fairy tale is she telling herself, for every t-shirt she produces a person dies. She may as well use leather. Li Edelkoort.

[@catface101]

The "20 times more inefficient. Fact" refers to fur vs faux-fur. It's on PETA's website and it's sourcing a paper by Gregory H. Smith entitled Energy Study of Real vs. Synthetic Furs from the University of Michigan, September 1979. Surely with all the advancements in fabric technology and industry there's something better to site than misattributing a near-40 year old paper? I know fur and leather are both tanned and produce waste therefrom, but even comparing animals the scale just doesn't line up. Don't get me wrong, leather does great harm to humans and the environment - just look at pictures of the tannery workers from India, they suffer from vitiligo-like skin conditions due to exposure - and finding a suitable substitute would do the world some good. But you cannot make progress with out dated (and perhaps mis-)information.

❤❤❤❤👍👍

[@chenqiguan4248]

You wear the leather shoes girl!

[@thunderkidos]

they r around 60% polyurethane ans 30% polyester do the research well please

[@valeriehitier9026]

C’ est s’ imposer des difficultés ….pourvu que les consommateurs s’ informent et choisissent un mode de fabrication ergonomique et écologique…sinon …dans sa vision : de plu s en plus nombreux à entamer les resources limitées naturelles… c’ est une pression qui s’ annonce … un sauvé qui peut ?!….en laissant tout abîmé derrière soi?!….pas très glorieux …et surtout pour reconstruire une société viable ailleurs …

[@MissPerriwinkle]

interesting face...........
