Stella McCartney launches digital festival to help end violence against women
Stella McCartney has launched a new digital festival to help raise support and awareness of violence against women.
Stellafest, which starts today, has an exclusive line-up of diverse artists from all over the world. All the performances were filmed from home during lockdown.
The online fundraising event will be hosted on Stella McCartney’s digital channels, including its newly launched TikTok account @StellaMcCartney.
The designer explained in a statement how the festival came about: “Artists from our community have come together to create a festival that is truly global - using technology and social media to bring the mosh pit onto your mobile.”
“While I was sad not to see dad and all the other great performers at Glastonbury this year, we have put together an incredible line-up and are raising our voices to end violence against women, a cause more urgent now than ever.”
Artists include Taylor Hawkins, Brian Wilson and Kelis, with more being announced daily.
A Stellafest charity auction will also include exclusive experiences with various artists, in support of The National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV).
Prizes include a virtual studio visit with Stella McCartney plus a signed one-off garment, a cooking class with Kelis, and a signed copy of Alicia Keys’ book “More Myself” alongside a 10-minute talk with the singer.
