And further studied at Central Saint Martins where her graduation collection was modelled by the likes of Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss. Stella McCartney uses animal friendly methods for her designs, she strives to make sustainable fashion “cool� like fast fashion brands. Stella has developed skin-free skin that is made out of polyester and polyurethane completely spun from organic fibres. Stella also uses organic cotton that doesn't come from endangered forests At Autumn/winter 2020 Paris show her models dressed up as animals (fox, cow, an alligator) animals that are commonly exploited and killed for their skin. She did this to remind us the abuse the animals endure even though high quality sustainable leather is available and other alternatives.
