Stella McCartney on Fake Fur, Rihanna, and Good-Fitting Bras

[@DanielaAndrade]

Stella is such a boss.

[@raquel8705]

Daniela Andrade She copys other famous designers. Only thing popular is her bags.

[@themollymelon]

A real business woman with a big heart and a progressive mind. We need more of this in this world. Thank you Stella

[@Rey3518]

Fur belongs to animals not humans, she is amazing and really sincere, great interview.

[@irenegriffiths242]

She got that from her beloved mum 🌹🌹🌹🇬🇧🐝🐝🐝

[@kinkykoilykawaii]

Stella is so stylish, yet ethical. She's a real inspiration.

[@nativ3s268]

Love this interview and love stella for taking a firm stance against animal cruelty in fashion. The questions were really well thought out and the interviewer was lovely 💕

[@pixelmittens]

+nativ3s I really liked the interviewer as well. I hope we see more of her in the future. Also, Stella is so much like her mom. She always seemed like such a lovely person.

[@nativ3s268]

Urkel Grue Ikr? I had bad assumptions about her at first because I thought she coattailed her way into the fashion industry, but when I started actually seeing her in interviews and looking at her collections a lot more my views entirely changed.

[@DankBudwoi]

That clip with the slaughter house rabbits...how the fuck anyone can live with themselves day in day out doing that is fucking disgusting...

[@golderschick]

Not everyone is good. You sound like a good person.

[@idontsurf1]

Not everyone has the luxury to choose their profession. I bet a lot of the butchers would prefer to have office jobs. "The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair is a good read.

[@CaseyPham]

At the end of the day, her clothes are well made and absolutely beautiful. Her handbags last a lifetime, I've worked retail and have been selling Stella McCartney handbags for over 5 years, and hers are the one brand that I don't think I have ever sent out for a repair. If it looks good, feels nice, and lasts a long time, then why does it matter what it's made of? Especially if it's more environmentally friendly.

[@newnanfrog-2094]

I love Stella McCartney.. she's opening up a topic that is so passionate for us that refuse to buy fur, makeup that's animal tested, leathers, etc. when there is no reason to. she's proved that the fashioned minded person can still look top model cruelty free. Love yah Stella!!

[@cindywitter-h2656]

Paul and Linda did such a tremendous job raising Stella, all their kids! Hands on parents 24/7, out of their limelight. She’s very much her own person, incredible designer, she was destined for greatness not because of her parents, but because she is so much her own person. I love that her line is for women of all sizes. That says a lot about her.

[@BrittKatSlat]

YES STELLA. VEGANISM IS THE FUTURE

[@fanoboss]

probably

[@stargirlxo5707]

Not

[@themollymelon]

It really is :)

[@nevansanford1635]

Her clothes aren't all vegan though

[@yellyman5483]

Stella is a VEGETARIAN not an vegan, thank god.

[@mefzy]

stella is radiant and so admirable!!! linda would be so proud of you

[@orangewedges]

Great interview!! The questions were interesting, the interviewer engaging and professional, and Stella is so inspirational. I love how she defends her stance without being overtly aggressive or too judgmental. She is outspoken about the fashion industry but isn't so blunt as to make her seem disagreeable. You just want to listen to her speak all day.

[@rexmarty100]

This is such a genius of a human being she's so lovely to listen to I love hearing her beauty and limitless knowledge ebb and flow outside of her

[@jane7086]

i love stella! i've been dying for one of her faux furs. one day!

[@anthonyholschier2435]

yaaaaass bitch love to see strong anti fur business owners!!!!

[@kkbing777]

I love and adore Stella McCartney's designs, but most people can not afford the bulk her products. She seems really down to Earth and compassionate, but again her sizes only go up to a 1x. It just seems that with her exemplary fashion sense and power, she could reach out to more women who love her style and products. 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@elenasingleterry5854]

It is very important that her brand is luxury, because it serves as an example that luxury does not require torture and killing of animals. Otherwise, luxury is associated with animals - leather, suede, fur, cashmere, wool. And all those things entail abuse and eventual killing of animals.

[@christinemusselman5499]

I thank Linda and Paul McCartney for giving me the strength to become vegetarian. It took me years and Paul's vids and the family's Meatless Mondays newsletters to do it. Great family.

[@gandimakhishig1613]

love her philosophy on fashion and protecting animals...

[@josies.6248]

what about the people that work in the sweat shops to create the clothes?

[@ciggy_]

+Josie S. thats more the fault of capitalism than her though?

[@fanoboss]

+Douglas Lindström but if she's doing business with the sweat shops isn't she not only condoning it but supporting it as well ?

[@ciggy_]

you could say that, but the only way to stop these people being used is by taking back the means of production, and the way to do that will never be to expect the people who profit of the workers to kindly give their power away. So yes technically you could blame her, but it's unrealistic to believe that she would change anything

[@fanoboss]

Douglas Lindström are you okay with that ?

[@ciggy_]

No of course not, but the way to progress is not to be mad at stella mccartney it's to organize the workers.

[@internetcitizen6029]

LOVE the VEGANISM!

[@internetcitizen6029]

Hey! It's a start! :)

[@AaliyahLeveau]

To imply that veganism is better than vegetarianism won't make anyone want to convert. And vegan diets are not sustainable long term nor do they have the health benefits you love to throw in everyone's face. I think it's wonderful to not want to harm animals or use them in any way, but to say that you get all of the vitamins you need, like B vitamins, which you can only get from a specific algae but even then it's not a complete meal nor do you get the same absorption of those vitamins. I think being vegan is great, but to tell people that is the correct diet is dangerous, people have very different genetic makeups. I have been vegan, and I understand what my body needs and wants and honestly, especially with all of the vegan videos on KZbin, you guys make it look like a cult. Which many x vegans have talked about, and how striving to look emaciated is the norm. I am vegetarian and I breastfeed and my body feels fully sustained, I immediately felt ill trying to be vegan and breastfeeding even with supplements. There's nothing wrong with being a vegetarian and being a vegan is no better.

[@TheScarletRanger]

lol what? the person was extremely polite about it, and to briefly address your post yes you can get everything you need from a balanced vegan diet, and yes ethically veganism is better as you dont support the killing of cows and chickens for dairy and eggs :)

[@AaliyahLeveau]

You're assuming that every person can get the nutrition you need, show me the actual scientific evidence, because everything I've read and when I was vegan showed that b vitamins are clearly lacking, and I don't think you understand how the absorption of vitamins in your body works, especially iron, considering there are so many different types as well. I am vegetarian and feel very balanced, I don't go around telling people to be vegetarian or that it works for everyone. Veganism as a concept is wonderful but does not play out of the majority of the world. It's truly orthorexia. Why don't you look that up. You guys all make it sound like a fucking cult lol and no I don't eat eggs or meat so you're fucking point is moot. I also weight lift and am training to be a yoga teacher,it's really not plausible to gain the muscle you need and feel the vitality you want without the most necessary vitamins. plus Im going to throw this out here for you, youre talking about it being better for the environment, the predominance of the fruit that you buy is not local even from this country and the practices to grow those fruit aren't economicaly stable. I'm really sick of the same arguments, you guys never have any evidence it's really sad. I'm so sick of Vegans too having to tell everyone they're fucking vegan, god damn, as filthy frank would say "nobody gives a shit"

[@TheScarletRanger]

b 12 is naturally present in some mushrooms and soil, from which a vegan b 12 supplement can be made. i actually know a lot about my own diet and have absolutely no concern regarding iron. iron is plentiful and able to be absorbed in many vegan foods. i never told you to be vegan, no need to be so defensive. veganism and orthorexia are completely different, i have no idea why you would compare those? (veganism being a lifestyle to reduce harm to animals/ impact on the earth) perhaps you are suggesting that people who follow a plant based diet (different from veganism as plant based diets are dietary only and come from a health concern rather than an ethical concern) are in some way orthorexic? either way it's a misguided notion. nothing i said makes it sound like a cult, i simply pointed out that veganism is perfectly healthy and better for the environment. my point is that meat eggs and dairy are cruel (which they are) and even if i was to fly my fruit and veggies all the way from the other side of the world (which i don't, i shop predominantly at farmers markets) it would still have less impact on the earth regarding emissions than producing meat/dairy/eggs, not to mention the cruelty side of it. that's great that you weight lift and do yoga but not sure how it's relevant...Veganism has plenty of evidence behind it and has helped so many people change their lives for the better, not to mention the animals lives. no one is forcing their beliefs onto you, someone simply commented 'LOVE the VEGANISM!' on a video about ethical fashion and you got extremely aggravated. your anger and defensiveness suggests a lack of security in your own decisions. no one in this thread has been rude or unreasonable other than you

[@HT-qe7xj]

the interview was great and its nice to know what she stands for and cares about real women. But a woman who can afford her bags or clothes is hardly a representation of a majority of real women. I understand she's into the luxury biz but it's kind of condescending.

[@FunWithBobbyBalistic]

Money doesn’t make a person.

[@cetriyasArtnComicsChannel]

it's one thing to use something to survive on like eating animal and then using their skin and fur it's another thing to just kill something because you want something pretty to hold onto when you walk down the street that is a waste

[@malibubarbie5394]

I fucking LOVE Stella McCartney. She's a BOSS.

[@antwainclarke3406]

the mentioned rihanna once as a passing comment and they put her name in the title...damn clickbait

[@pdrvianna]

i just came here for that, and fuck it

[@ujugafu2209]

So in love with this channel... My God! The interview was refreshing, intelligent and thoughtful. Stella was a dream, seems very kind and conscientious. More please!!

[@curagiu]

shes adorable 💜 wish she did mens

[@velociraptorclaws]

Really good interview, Broadly. Stella has been an inspiration to me since reading about her as a teenager when discovering fashion. Why more designers or houses don't use her amazing faux leather I don't get it either.

[@Ruby_Spacek]

Love it! I hate it when I see a beautiful new fashion collection by another brand but then find out they used animal fur/leather,ewwwww! How is wearing body parts considered chic in 2018? I don't get it. Other designers need to get on board.

[@cherylolsen4420]

Great interview!!

[@richalderson6069]

Why on earth anyone would accept leather or animal fur in this industry these days is utterly stupid and ignorant. So people like Stella are an important influence in such a competitive and fast moving world that doesn't always think about these things.

[@jaysteel3766]

lol at using Rihanna as click-bait

[@rafaelgomez1989]

LOVE HOW ARTICULATE SHE IS with her FASHION ENVIOROMENTAL PRINCIPLES @@!

[@arelyvazquez4028]

i love the fact that she's so conscious about animal cruelty in the fashion industry 👏🏻

[@lordofskull4267]

She looks better now than she looked before.🤔😁

[@Monicalala]

Very excellent interview. One day I hope to get a Stella bag!

[@minn1386]

She’s this amazingly strong woman with a huge sense of fashion and life, love it!

[@suesmith4289]

Stella seems such a nice grounded person and a brilliant designer.

[@yasminogbu8929]

I love her honesty! Very down to earth. She sees her privilege, but damn she's talented! She has owned her spot !

[@whizzardblizzard5696]

What I love about her is that she's very aware of the underground, independent culture

[@samanthako4269]

the interviewer was brilliant!

[@buddyneher9359]

Inspiring woman! Seriously love Stella McCartney for her values and leadership

[@amritanair9445]

aww Stella's such a lovely person :)

[@oliverprosser9968]

I’ve always loved her design but after watching this I love her even more!!

[@kevinking2468]

Thank you Stella for caring about things that should be cared about such as helpless animals - I applaud you and support everything you do

[@soulsreadings]

Why create fur ... fake fur if you’re against it ?? If I hate eggs I don’t look for foods that taste like eggs , or create that for that matter .

[@leahm7716]

Imagine Stella McCartney complimenting your bag and you don’t realise it’s her

[@randdavison1156]

Her parents raised a good human.

[@mudslynger2109]

Good questions; GREAT answers

[@ellisandking]

'The fashion industry is supposed to be modern' Favorite line!

[@JaseekaRawr]

Yeah.. About ADIDAS, we all know they use sweatshops. So Stella, please stick with the "ethical" production - with both humans & animals. You're a great designer, but it's inexcusable to use sweatshop labor. You're in a real position to do some good & there's a responsibility there. Amazing how they just glossed over that part & even touted it!

[@of_scorpions]

What type of English accent is the interviewer speaking? It sounds posh but slightly strange....I like it.

[@inesdelong5896]

Great ! Can you show us photos of her home .? ❤

[@karenmarshall8240]

Lovely woman and very down to earth considering her life and success. Reminds me of her mother.

[@patricias5122]

I love it that she does not kill animals for accessories. Big however: making handbags out of vinyl, even high quality vinyl, just fills up the landfills. Fake fur is polyester, which does not biodegrade.These materials just end up polluting the Earth. Many of them actually end up in the oceans.

[@Debbie742]

I love that she does this, but let's be honest - most of us can't afford a real fur coat or even one of her fake fur coats. My purses are made out of synthetic materials because that's all I can afford. So who is buying any of this? Rich people.

[@duermedespierto]

wow....I have gained respect for Estella for not hurting any animals and for speaking up against it.

[@kdb4383]

love this interview.thanks broadly

[@pauloguardao]

I love this woman!

[@Max-ey6bv]

Very informative and spontaneous interview! I feel the interviewer was a little bit of nervous haha.

[@neprisiminsi]

I love her!

[@ellenrule3189]

Omg you are an amazing human and your parents are so admired by me. Thank you!!!!

[@eleanorerigby5503]

It is not true. The production of 1 Falabella doesn't cost more than 50usd. Stella sells one piece for about 800-1200usd. She just sells her father's name, thats all. I like the Falabella models a lot but they are just not worth that much. Not even 1/10 of the price. Stella is a good business-woman, a gen from her father. Thats why they get along so well..character-wise.

[@idontsurf1]

I appreciate the vegan ideals behind Stella's bags-but they shouldn't retail in the same category as exotic skin bags from Bottega Veneta. Same goes for LV's canvas- very cheap to manufacture.

[@goonchorn]

I admire her for questioning the norm, take the stance in what they believe in and make the effort in making it happen. Don't get me wrong. Yet, I think we have to have a more nuanced view when labelling something as "cruelty free" or whatever. The next necessary question regarding her "cruelty free" product is: "But is it really?" -- It might not have killed an animal for its skin/fur, but what are the production processes and disposals of the products like? Are there toxic substances used or released in the air/water/soil? Because if so, I'm sorry: not using leather or fur is just moving from one form of cruelty to another.

[@marje2025]

Thank goodness for people like Stella. #furfreebritain

[@ajdoubleu4218]

Her mother must be watching over her so proud 😊

[@MIOLAZARUS]

She is so amazing!

Happy Birthday to Stella. 9-13-*1.London.I just wished James McCartney a happy birthday yesterday 9-12-77.I wonder how you guys celebrate birthdays on the same week back then.

such a REALLY classy woman ❤

[@andrewcorcoran5228]

I didn't realize how much of a critter advocate she is. Kudos

[@fawnwoods51]

I brought home some fur from a thrift shop for my cats. My cats stayed away from it as if they knew where it came from.

[@joanofarc9438]

I have a leopard print cloth coat.I had a group women staring at me and one of them walked over and in a rage said that coat looked better on the animal it came from than you and it is cloth cotton i think.

[@lilyrod0618]

such an inspiration...shes very cool

[@JKlatinagirl]

I love this woman. So smart!

[@priscillaburga5287]

I love stella

[@caerulea0]

The only thing I can say about the accessories collection, which is me being super pedantic, is that perhaps instead of faux leather she could have incorporated another more modern material in place of leather entirely so that even further reinstates that we don't need to use animal products at all.

[@jakeet999]

An inspiration

[@emmaw.5957]

Stella seems super sweet!

[@Destinayyxnayy]

Stella is so awesome.

[@Lunalovesrockyroad98]

wow i fully support her views on animals... She's so compassionate and amazing.

[@softdreamjewelry3742]

Amazing interview! I agree and I believe that fashion has to be modern and ready to what is next, new challenge, new fabrics and why not animal free! :-)

She looks like Pensatucky from OITNB
