“I am deeply honored to receive the Legion of Honor, and the fact that it is awarded to me by President Emmanuel Macron makes this distinction even more significant,” commented the designer on her social networks. “France is a country that has deeply marked my life and career… This city has always welcomed and supported me, but also stimulated and inspired me,” added the one who has been showcasing in Paris since the beginning of her brand, launched in 2001.
While sharing this honor with her loved ones and teams, “who have worked tirelessly and with passion to prove that fashion can be both desirable and responsible,” Stella McCartney emphasizes that “there is still much to be done.” “I remain hopeful – and I remain determined – that together, we can transform our industry to serve nature, all living beings, and future generations.” A commitment to the environment and animal welfare that she inherited from her mother Linda McCartney, an American photographer and animal rights activist.
