Stella McCartney

“It’s going to be a big year for Stella—her involvement with that little thing called the Olympics (she’s the creative director of Adidas’ Team GB collection)—and she’s off to a good start.” —Jessica Bumpus, Vogue.com UK

“As a modern woman and mother, with her children backstage, Ms. McCartney understands the Olympian task of dressing for what life throws at you. The models, with hair scraped into a bun, looked more formal and, dare we say, mature than in earlier collections. But the strength of the show was in its breadth of ideas, from tailoring through cable knits.” —Suzy Menkes, International Herald Tribune
