for Christian Lacroix on his first couture collection.
She later spent several years on Savile Row and in 1997
showed her first collection in Paris. In 2001 she stepped
into Karl Lagerfeld's shoes as chief designer at the French
couture house Chloe. McCartney is currently signed with
Gucci and has set about turning her own label into a global
