Is Stella McCartney a high-end brand?
Yes, Stella McCartney is a high-end brand. Since founding her eponymous fashion brand in 2001, Stella McCartney has earned a stellar reputation for offering expertly tailored pieces produced out of fine fabrics that reflect a mission of ethics and sustainability, which has meant no leather, fur, feathers or other animal skins. Instead, the brand has elevated upcycled and recycled materials such as ocean plastics, and used organic cotton, such as in a collaborative collection with Greenpeace. Many celebrities are loyal devotees of the label, such as Chrissy Tiegen, Halsey, Gwen Stefani, Taylor Swift, Eva Mendes, Florence Pugh, Kate Hudson and Zendaya.

StellaMcCartney 2003 Runway SilkSatinPrint ZipJacket or OffShoulder Bubble Dress
By Stella McCartney
Located in Chicago, IL
Arguable the most significant design in the Stella McCartney Spring/Summer 2003 collection--since our versatile garment debuted in different colors on the runway and was worn by the British designer to take her fashion-show bow--this pink-printed dark-grey silk-blend zip-front bubble-shaped mini dress with white-satin stripes and pink piping was a favorite of the show's Vogue critic and her father Beatles co-founder Paul McCarthy. Vogue wrote: "Her hippest new idea came in the form of puffy satin bombers--she transformed one, a fusion of sport and chinoiserie print, into an off-the-shoulder bubble dress. McCartney is so into the glam-bomber idea, in fact, that she bounded onto the runway wearing a black version herself." The garment's voluminous batwing sleeves with stretch-cotton ribbed neckline and hem, plus custom golden-charm two-way zipper, enable it to have different necklines and lengths to convert to a shorter draping bomber jacket. Notably, the versatile piece that is subtly printed with mock-Beatles lyrics seems to have been the first tribute fashion-design that McCartney created to reference her father. Prior, she had credited her stylish mother Linda for instilling her with a love of fashion and inspiration for her initial namesake collections, which followed her first commercial collections with Phoebe Philo for Chloe. For background, when McCartney was a young girl in 1978, the mock-rock band The Rutles parodied a Beatles song, which was recorded by EMI as "Ging, Gang, Goolie". Given its lyrics, the chinoiserie-style dragon motifs were substituted by McCartney with bird skeletons...
