Stella McCartney was born in 1972, the daughter of pop star Sir Paul McCartney. She is the youngest of
three sisters. One sister is a potter and the other sister does the same job as their mother used to do – she works as
a photographer. Stella’s brother, James, is a musician. Stella first hit the newspaper headlines in 1995 when she
graduated in fashion design from art college. At her final show, her clothes were modeled by her friends, Naomi
Campbell and Kate Moss, both well-known models. Unsurprisingly, the student show became front-page news
around the world. Stella hadn't been in the news before as a fashion designer but she had spent time working in
the fashion world since she was fifteen. In March 1997, Stella went to work for the fashion house Chloe. People
said the famous fashion house had given her the job because of her surname and her famous parents but Stella
soon showed how good she was. She designs clothes which she would like to wear herself, although she's not a
model, and many famous models and actors choose to wear them. In 2001 Stella started her own fashion house
and has since opened stores around the world and won many prizes. A lifelong vegetarian, McCartney does not
use any leather or fur in her design. Instead, she uses silk, wool and other animal-derived fabrics.

answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
It feels can feel like, with all the new responsibilities involved in being a new parent, there is simply no
time to worry about your relationship as a couple. For many new mums and dads, this side of things simply falls
the bottom of their priority list.
And while this is understandable, it can also make things harder in the long run. Because - far from being
something that can simply be put to the side until there's time to give it proper attention – your relationship
together is going to be at the heart of how effectively you're able to take on the role of being a new parent.
If you and your partner are able to support each other through what will probably be a fairly challenging
time in your lives, you're much more likely to be able to deal with your new responsibilities as a team. If you can
keep your connection strong, you're more likely to feel this is something you're facing together - not just as two
individuals.
Paying attention to your relationship is also important because the challenges of being a parent are going
to put pressure on you as a couple. You may find certain things your partner is doing annoying or frustrating,
and there may be areas where you wish they would support you more. Being able to bring these things up and talk
about them properly will be key in navigating things together.
And finally, it's also important you're able to find the occasional bit of quality time together so you can
stay in touch with the fun, affectionate side of your relationship. Remember: fun isn't just a frivolous thing -it's a
really important part of staying close and feeling connected to your partner.
On a practical level, this can mean trying to put aside a little time to reconnect regularly. It doesn't have to
be lots. It might be 30 minutes before you go to bed, or 20 minutes over breakfast. The point is to find a little bit
of time when you can talk, make sure you're both ok, express anything that's on your minds - or just to be
affectionate and cuddle.
