Stella McCartney's 6 year association with Adidas is being extended in a major way. The sportswear firm just declared that the thirty eight year old English designer will work as a creative director for Team GB (Great Britain) in the course of the 2012 Olympic and Paralympics Games, which will be held in London, the place where McCartney was born.

"As a designer from Britain it truly is an astonishing, once-in-a-lifetime chance to be a creative director of Team Great Britain as the hosting country of the London 2012 Olympics," McCartney stated.

The eco-friendly, cut-followed designer, who's expecting her 4th child, will be busy designing both the uniforms for Olympics-themed apparel for fans and Team Great Britain, the latter which will launch this fall.

Adidas, the authorized sponsor of the year 2012 Summer Games, continues to be dressing Team GB since 1984 and has been associated with the Olympics since year 1928.

The appointment of McCartney, who also designs the extremely productive Adidas by Stella McCartney women's performance line, marks the first time a leading designer has cooperated with a leading sports firm to create Olympic uniforms.
