Stella McCartney
British Designer
I think the fact that my parents weren't conventional - especially considering their position - had a big influence on the way that I conduct myself now in design and business. It had a huge impact on my wanting to do something a bit more than just designing a pretty dress and putting it on a runway and making it glamorous.
Quote examples
Aerin Lauder
American Businesswoman

Quote examples
