DALLAS, April 28 Neiman Marcus is pleased to announce the personal appearance of designer Stella McCartney on Wednesday, May 3, in Dallas, Texas. Neiman Marcus NorthPark will host an exclusive cocktail party, in honor of Ms. McCartney, and presentation of her Fall 2006 collection. Stella McCartney is known for her witty and irreverent mix of sharp tailoring and sexy femininity.
Born and raised in London, Stella McCartney graduated from Central St. Martins in 1995, with the rare accolade of having her final year collection bought by several influential retailers, including Neiman Marcus. Upon graduation, McCartney immediately launched her own line, which instantly garnered international media attention. In 1997, after only two seasons on her own, McCartney was appointed Creative Director for the venerable house of Chloe. During McCartneys tenure at Chloe, the collection achieved stratospheric commercial success, and received universal praise from both buyers and press. In April 2001, Stella McCartney launched her own eponymous fashion house in a joint venture with Gucci Group. A strict vegetarian, Stella McCartney does not use leather or fur in her designs, which include womens ready-to-wear, accessories, eyewear and the fragrance Stella, which launched on her birthday, September 13, 2003.
