Stella McCartney, daughter of rock legend Paul McCartney, has created a legend of her own through her unique brand of fashion clothing, fragrances, accessories, and sunwear. Her brand is synonymous with modern and cool, and appeals to women aged 24 to 45 who are ‘naturally sexy, energetic, and confident with a fun side.’ Luxottica Group’s Stella McCartney sunglass collection continues the brand identity with a mix of classic and contemporary designs, colors, and materials.
