STELLA McCARTNEY DOES THE APPRENTICE

STELLA McCARTNEY LEADS TEAM OLYMPUS INTO THE APPRENTICE BOARDROOM


LORD SUGAR:  Team Olympus, your task was to design Great Britain team kit for all sports for the Olympics. Who was your project manager?
STELLA McCARTNEY:  It was me, Lord Sugar.
LORD SUGAR:  Did you manage all the sports?
STELLA McCARTNEY: All except triathlon so we just did a plain navy suit  trimmed red.
LORD SUGAR:  What inspired you for the rest then?
STELLA McCARTNEY:   Well, the Union Flag is one of the most beautiful flags in the world and it was most important for me to stay true to the iconic design but also modernise it in a contemporary way.  
LORD SUGAR:  So basically you took the existing adidas kit as a starting point and "modernised" it.  You modernised it by removing  the red which features in the Union Flag as it reflects the red  in the flags of England , Northern Ireland and  Wales.  You then made it "contemporary" by  replacing  it with a lighter shade of blue.
STELLA McCARTNEY:  You could say that.
LORD SUGAR: I did say that because that is what I see that you have done!  Why?
STELLA McCARTNEY:  I  hadn't realised that the Union Flag was made up of the flags of England, Northern Ireland ,Scotland and that.
LORD SUGAR:  Well perhaps you should have known that when you started! 




                                                       YOU'RE FIRED!
