In an editorial forPortermagazine, the designer was photographed with her most loyal fan base, including Selma Blair, Nicole Richie and Jennifer Meyer and with fellow Beatles family members (reminder: her dad is Sir Paul McCartney): Barbara Bach Starkey, wife of Ringo Starr and Olivia Harrison, wife of George Harrison. But that’s just her version of “normal.”
“People always want to ask me about my famous friends, and I’m always like: ‘Yeah, I’ve got a lot of famous friends,’ but I grew up around that and I’m not kind of… you know, yeah, it’s great, like there’s a greatness to it, but I’m also a bit like, I’ve also got a really great bunch of girls that are godmothers and they are not famous,” McCartney explains.

So what are a few key pieces to her success? Number one is to achieve longevity. “My grandpa Lee always used to say to me ‘staying power’ — that was his thing. He was a very impressive man, amazing man… I was like, if I can have staying power, that’s a real achievement.”

Also, never cry at the office. “I’ve probably cried at work, but I’m limited with my crying; I’m the boss, I’m not really allowed to cry at work.”
