Maybe due her blue-blooded genealogy. Stella never thought about to proceed catwalk career.
Although he has gained tremendous success. She never really liked it ever in her life.
Once Stella said , it is a hateful for me to be known as the second toff in modeling. Modeling
is only a platform where I can do everything that I really desire.
Stella was born in Landon. She brought up on a sheep farm of 1500 acre in the border. After
getting education from St Leonards School for Girls in St Andrews.
She moved to Winchester Art College to study sculpture. Stella gained a nose ring there. At her
21 birthday, she got a welding touch.
Modeling was not her department. She joined it an accidentally in 1993 after her socialite Chum
plum Sykes, who was working in Vogue.
She said to Stella that would you like to appear in an editorial spread of real people. She told to
her that it’s Anglo Saxon Attitude.
Steve Meisel was one of the most influential snappers of the time. He has shot the Madonna’s
sex book. The photographer made not only her photo as cover photo of magazine but also he
invited her to appear in shoot for Versace.
Infect he was very impressed by her glowing skin and shining blue eyes.
In an age when top models consider to be the Amazonian goddess. Her cut black hair ,weak
frames face piercings and sharp cheek. This made her something different from others.
She smiled seldom and scoffed in photographs. Then, she announced for new aesthetic and
booking started.
It seems I have a record of more walking in shows about 75 or something different. She said it
was about 20 years ago, when it was not so desperate to walk in many shows.
The main thing was how to make money. In comparison to us, today’s girls do nothing. We
used to ride on coat-tails. The late Karl Lagerfeld was her biggest champion, who signed her the
‘face’ of Chanel to replace Claudia Schiffer. Here she was as creative director on retainer of one
million dollars.
The German supermodel said, I don’t like the fact of today’s trend. You have to look like a litter
to cool off. I like to the photographers who make me to look and healthy. Stella is a clean
looking girl. That’s the decent thing to do. It should end there.
Lagerfeld replied, Claudia is in another fashion show and another time. But Stella is an amazing
model of modern days . She is trending.
Once Stella said, I prefer green wellies to Manolos. Her fellows were enjoying to drug and
coming out from nightclubs. It seems Stella was a low standard model.
Stella’s love story was amazing. Because I was started at interesting incident. When gold toothed
DJ and former graffiti artist Goldie flirted her. After that she met with David who was the
assistant of photographer Mario Testino.
The most interesting story started at the same day when Goldie was flirt me. David came and we
chatted there. She said we caught in love in first sight.
We shared our launch that day and I was feeling blush . Rice were falling through my fork.
David was sitting in front of me. I left the eating, she recalled her memory.
The couple tied knot in a local church in presence of 75 guests in 1999. They have four children
are Marcel, Cecily, Jasmine and Iris.
After short stay in New York. The couple settled down in Scottish border. Stella used to visit
family on occasions due to her modeling work .
Recently, famous fashion brands including Burberry and Victoria Beckham have made headlines
of her catwalk. She said, I think it’s the last walk here.
In an interview she said, it’s honor for me to grow old gracefully. While joking on her husband’s
request she said, I have left to dye my grey hair.
Stella said, modeling not leaving me. But I can’t color my hair to have an artificial beauty. I have
ended my career in best way. She said, don’t want to do those things that I’m not.
Stella said ,I have everything my children, husband and family. I incredibly very happy where
I’m exist. What else is more important for me.
