1. Stella McCartney

Ahead of the curve, and unknown to many, Stella McCartney’s fashion has always been sustainable. In a 2016 interview with Vogue, Stella McCartney dove into her desire to create a sustainable couture brand by asserting her problem with many previous eco-friendly clothing. “It was often scratchy and oatmeal-y. What’s the point of designing an oatmeal shirt if nobody buys it? It would go to a landfill, and that would be just as bad.” Bad her pieces are not. Her stunning designs are frequently shown off by celebrities at events around the world.
