The Evolution of Stella McCartney

Here’s an excerpt from my latest post for Little Pink Book PR—

The name itself happens to elicit fame.

It is notable, memorable and will never be forgotten—but that can’t all be accredited to her beloved Beatles father.

Barely even 40-years old and British designer Stella McCartney is at the top of her game, actually it’s quite possible she’s even surpassed the top.

Her extensive accomplishments include the introduction of several personal lines, numerous collaborations and becoming chief designer for the House of Chloe just two years after her college graduation. Now married, with three children and another on the way, Stella appears to have it all.

It all began in London on September 13, 1971 when Stella entered the world as the second child of former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney and his photographer wife, Linda Eastman…

Stella with famous friends: Kate Hudson, Liv Tyler and Kate Bosworth

The limited edition line will be launched on December 19, 2010 through January 22, 2011 and will be available both in stores as well as online at www.target.com. Fashion admirers can prepare themselves for both a men and women’s collection that will be sure to exude the brand’s signature mix of rocker-attitude and laid-back luxury. 

The line is predicted to deliver stylish jeans, denim jackets and more, right into the hands of Target shoppers. Although price points for the William Rast for Target collection have yet to be released, it’s expected that they will be significantly less than the label’s designer jeans, which range from $165 to $229, and leather jackets, which cost up to $595.
