Stella McCartney would love to dress Britain’s Queen Elizabeth.
The 41-year-old designer – who was awarded an OBE by the monarch on Tuesday (26.03.13) – praised the 86-year-old ruler’s ”chic” sense of style.
Asked if she thought the queen was a fashion icon, she said: ”She’d be up there, I would have to say. She has a great timeless quality about her in what she wears and she’s very chic. You can’t knock her on her fashion, I don’t think.”
Asked if she would like to design for her, she added: ”If she would have me, absolutely, I’d love to.”
During the investiture ceremony, the queen praised Stella for her work designing the Team GB kit for last year’s London Olympic games.
Stella told Channel 5 News: ”She said to me, ‘You seem very busy, very busy every time I see you,’ and I said, ‘Oh well I’m not quite as busy as you, Ma’am.’
”Then she said, ‘Well there always seems to be another fashion show or another fashion week,’ but I said, ‘Yes, but my greatest honor was designing the kit for your nation for the Olympics.’ She said, ‘Oh well it was very, very good.’ ”
