Fashion designer Stella McCartney wants budding designers to be "honest" with themselves if they want to break into the fashion industry. The 46-year-old, who has cut the brand Kering's 50 per cent share out of her fashion empire in a bid to move forward with an independent business, has advised industry aspirants to be "passionate" and true to themselves when they are launching a label or a collection, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
