Stella is the first recipient of this new ACE Award—and rightly so! As someone who abstains from fur and leather, which are toxic for the environment, she's light-years ahead of certain other designers who are around … cough, Donna, cough, Giorgio. Sorry, must've had a little phlegm in my throat!
When Stella began her leather-free accessories line in 2006, she told Women's Wear Daily, "I do want to show that accessories can be made from a more ethical viewpoint—and be sexy and cool. The myth of leather—that every bag and shoe needs to be made from it—needs to be broken down. It's a bit caveman." Amen, Stella! Stella is also featured in Ingrid's newest book, One Can Make a Difference.
So congratulations to Stella on her well-deserved ACE Award. Hopefully, it'll only be a matter of time before all designers realize that (a) skins aren't green, and (b) we aren't cavemen. Are you listening, Donna?
Whoopsie, I meant to disguise that with another fake cough. Oh well.

Is that phlegm from drinking milk, perhaps? ; )

Stella's commitment reminds me of her mother, Linda. The McCartney family has always been far ahead of the pack on health and environmental issues. Linda was the guiding light and turned a lot of people vegetarian with her terrific cooking! Stella is her continuing legacy! Linda would be so proud of you, Stella... As I am sure your father continues to be!! You are beautiful, smart and good to the core!! Just like your parents.
