How Did Stella McCartney Meet Alasdhair Willis?
Stella and Alasdhair met at a business meeting when he was hired as a consultant for her fashion brand in the early 2000s.
“[It was] love across a breakfast table,” he once said of their first meeting, per Vogue. “We had a breakfast meeting at Brown’s, and we haven’t really been apart since. I called her that afternoon. I had no idea whether I’d get a response; that was a leap of faith. It could have gone wrong. Fortunately, she said yes, and the rest is history. We are happy. We respect each other, we enjoy each other’s company and she’s my best friend. I love hanging out with her.”

Stella shared how being a working mom has inspired her clothing line over the years.
“I believe in the future, and I believe in our kids because they are the ones who are going to fight for their lives on this planet,” the mom of four previously told Moda Operandi. “This next generation is beginning to challenge conventions and is becoming more conscious of their impact on this environment. The most modern thing we can do as a house is challenge conventions in the industry and take responsibility.”
She continued, “I want to design beautiful, luxurious and desirable products while remaining responsible, mindful and ethical,” adding, “These are the types of values that were instilled in me as a child and that I would like to pass on to my children and the industry.”
