I am so deeply honoured to receive the Légion d’honneur – and being awarded by President Emmanuel Macron makes this even more profoundly meaningful. France is a country that has shaped so much of my life and career…this city has always welcomed and supported me, but also challenged and inspired me.   This recognition is not just for me, but for my family, my team, the innovators and the partners who have worked tirelessly and passionately to prove that fashion can be both desirable and responsible. It’s also recognition that luxury fashion houses can think about fashion in a conscious, passionate way without having to compromise on beauty – we are proof. There is still so much to do, but I am still hopeful – and still determined – that together we can reshape our industry to serve nature, all living creatures and future generations… x Stella
