It is believed that once the property has been overhauled it may well house a shop, offices, a design studio and, unusually, an Indian restaurant. We are assuming the whole Indian restaurant ’thing’ comes from her own personal curry desire, or maybe it’s a new holistic health treatment thingy-me-bob, perhaps a new strand of yoga or it could even be a new design fetish, instead of littering her clothes with horses and cockney rhyming slang she might be thinking of decorating her next collection with poppadoms, mango chutney and tandoori chicken.

Stella outs the hunters - 12/11/01
Stella is set to raise a few eyebrows this season as the anti-hunting designer is expected to ban a local hunt from passing through the grounds of her new Worcestershire estate.

The designer, who is so fervent with regard to her beliefs that she will not even sit upon a leather chair, will undoubtedly force the Croome and East Warwickshire Hunt to abandon plans to continue with their past. Stella purchased a three-storey Grade II listed Georgian property for £1.3 million and has plans to turn its 277 acres to organic farming.

Cockney Nelson up the creek without a paddle - 16/10/01
Me old mucker Stella is facing accusations of theft after being accused of pinching ideas from another designer.

The designer in question is one Clay O’Shea who creations have been on sale at Harvey Nichols and The Cross for quite some time. Her creations display the slang ’Trouble and Strife’ and ’Bristols’, both of which appeared at McCartney’s Paris collection last week. O’Shea said, ’The Slang label has been in stores for almost six months. Stella McCartney is clearly a talented designer, so frankly I was surprised to see the slogans on the runway for next season. I will be seeking legal advice.’

Nelson goes aw cockney - 09/10/01
Stella openly displayed where her loyalties lay at Paris Fashion Week yesterday, when her first catwalk show took to the runway. Her collection consisted of work inspired and adorned with cockney rhyming slang. One of her most talked about pieces consisted of a full-length skirt decorated with the slogan ’Trouble and Strife’. Whether this was directed at her soon-to-be mother in-law, Heather Mills, is a rumour hotly debated throughout the fashion world and tabloids a like. All we can is ’Never Chinese Blind Nelson we liked the chuffin’ collection even if ’eather doesn’t.’

Stella to move to Golborne Road - 13/07/01
Stella McCartney is rumoured to be purchasing the former chapel on Goldbourne Road with the intentions of converting it into a catwalk and work space.

The chapel which has been used as a second hand furniture store for the past few years, was reportedly snapped up just days ago, when the current tennant was asked to remove his belongs and vacate the building with five days. A close friend of Stella said: "Originally Stella was looking for property a little off the beaten track, but this particular property just caught her attention, it is a vast open plan building with plenty of space for conversion - I am sure she has great plans for it." Only two months ago Stella planted a bombshell on the design house Chloe when she announced her move to Gucci. Her new Golbourne Road studio space is rumoured to be the new creative space within which she can start to plan and work her magic on the Gucci label.
