MACCA’S GIRL HAS THE LAST LAUGH

IT WAS always going to be hard to ignore sir Paul McCartney’s daughter. Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell and yasmin le Bon modelled in stella’s saint Martin’s graduate show — for free.

After a youthful stint at Chloe, stella set up her own label in 2001. she’s proved herself immensely versatile: somehow her eco-warrior sensibilities don’t stop her designing flattering, grown-up clothes. her success is one in the eye for Karl lagerfeld, her predecessor at Chloe, who sniped after she got his job: ‘i think they should have taken a big name. they did — but in music, not fashion.’

FAMILY MATTERS:

Married to Alasdhair Willis, creative director at hunter wellies, they have two sons and two daughters: Miller, 12, Beckett, nine, Bailey, 11, and Reiley, seven, and live in london’s Notting hill. stella, 46, has said she will pull her children out of private school if they get too ‘posh’.

MONEY, MONEY, MONEY:

Business is booming. Figures released for 2016 show sales increased to £41.6 million — up almost £10 million in a year. Dividends to shareholders doubled in a year, meaning stella received £4.32 million on top of her salary and bonus.
