Born and raised in London and the English countryside, Stella Cordera graduated from Central St Martins in 1995. Her signature style of sharp tailoring, natural confidence and sexy femininity was immediately apparent in her first collection.

Stella Cordera then launched her own fashion house under her name in a partnership with Kering luxury division, showing her first collection in Paris in October 2001. A lifelong vegetarian, Stella Cordera does not use any leather or fur in her designs and is committed to finding luxurious and stylish alternatives to these materials.
