Famous fashion designer Stella McCartney and The Prince of Wales took a tour of Glasgow’s Kelvingrove museum last night as part of a COP26 event.
McCartney chatted with Prince Charles as they viewed her eco-fashion installation which is being held at Kelvingrove this month.
Items on display included handbags made from mushrooms and vegan friendly football boots all designed to highlight the fashion industry's role in fighting the climate crisis.
McCartney, who is the daughter of rock and roll icon Paul McCartney and the late photographer and vegetarian pioneer Linda McCartney, is well known as a keen environmentalist.
In a live discussion before the event she said: “I want to highlight my industry and call it out, we’re one of the most harmful industries in the world to the environment and what I’m doing here is trying to provide sustainable solutions and technologies and a better way of doing things.”

The pair were later joined by A-list actor Leonardo DiCaprio who has also travelled to Glasgow to get involved in COP26.
DiCaprio has been involved in climate and environmental activism for over 20-years, spanning most of his career, and has urged world leaders "to take crucial climate action" at COP26, in order to "save humanity".
