SOUNDBITE (English) Hilary Alexander, Fashion Critic, The Daily Telegraph: \"I think it was really exceptionally modern and it was wearable clothes, they\'re the kind of clothes that women in the audience will look at and think I can wear that I can wear that.  I mean it wasn\'t avant garde, it wasn\'t directional but I think there\'s enough designer doing that already and I think what Stella does is she has absolutely got down pat, that kind of young to slightly older woman with children, sometimes with a job and, sometimes at home, who wants easy clothes that work.\" 6. Set up Stella McCartney with artist Jeff Koons 7. SOUNDBITE (English) Stella McCartney, Fashion Designer: \"Those are the paintings I love, the ones that were really bright and really busy and kind of had a lot of layering and very bold images and I just asked him for all the paintings in that scenario and then I chose from those, the ones I liked\".    8. Set up Jeff Koons  9. SOUNDBITE (English) Jeff Koons, Artist: (on what it was like seeing his artwork on the catwalk) \"It looked so beautiful so I was very very happy.  You know it\'s wonderful when you let go of things and they just have their own life and Stella did such a beautiful job, but you know the way she cuts things it\'s so sexy, so clean and beautiful so i\'ve never seen my work look better or sexier. She did a wonderful job, really wonderful\".       10. Cutaway photographer 11. SOUNDBITE (English) Stella McCartney, Fashion Designer:- on collaboration with H&M and adidas: \"It\'s good for us to see how a wider audience respond, because I get so many women coming up to me saying \'I love your clothes but I can\'t afford them\' or \'I\'m too old\', you know people who feel insecure about top end luxury clothing and really it\'s a way for me to say \'you are not too old, you\'re not too big, you\'re not too small and now you can all afford it\".  12. Cutaway 13. SOUNDBITE (English) Stella McCartney, Fashion Designer: \"The performance with Adidas is great, it\'s really important for us to do purely performance driven clothing there, so it is all technical, it\'s for athletes and for woman that really want to go and work out.  I mean there are pieces that you can translate on to the street but the real influence there and the starting point is to take everything, to sweat.  You know, it\'s great and I loved doing that, I love it, because it is such an area that hasn\'t really been addressed in the industry at all.\" 14. Wide shot party  STELLA SHOWS EFFORTLESS COLLECTION   Stella McCartney\'s Spring 2006 collection was effortless and clean. The less is more attitude was used by the designer to reveal the modern woman\'s inner confidence.  High waisted pants with chain belts were easy tailored pieces in natural fabrics. Relaxed daywear mixed rain blues with lightweight silk cotton knits. Oversized striped shirt dresses were paired with chintzed shorts.   Trench coats and blousons played on volume with cutaway details and metallic fabrics.  Swimsuits were high cut and sexy, and chain print on jersey and silk chiffons moved easily from day to evening.  Easy all-in-ones were worn on the waist with open necklines to reveal sun kissed skin. Satin fronted button through cocktail dresses and crisp corseted silk chiffon dresses paraded in black and sunset.      At age 15, Stella Mccartney started working with Christian Lacroix and got her first-hand experience on design. She studied at Central St. Martins, and at 25, she landed the job at Chloe.
