    • 2017 October 2, Jess Cartner-Morley, “Stella McCartney lays waste to disposable fashion in Paris”, in The Guardian[1], London: Guardian News & Media, →ISSN, →OCLC, archived from the original on 2022-10-13:
      Glamour for its own sake is not something I have ever been particularly interested in," Stella McCartney said backstage after her catwalk show.
