Fashion Designer Petra Ecclestone
Petra Ecclestone (born 1988) is an Croatian-English heiress and fashion designer, the younger daughter of Croatian former Armani model Slavica and Formula 1 billionaire Bernie Ecclestone. She has an older sister named Tamara.
Ecclestone attended Trevor-Roberts School then Francis Holland School, an all-girls school, in London, England.
Growing up, she always wanted to be a fashion designer. She decided to make menswear because it is a "bigger niche" and because "womenswear was too saturated".
She contracted viral meningitis at the age of 14, and told the media that it "changed her life forever." She said "I no longer take my health for granted. ... I’m now a health freak and a hypochondriac. I’m obsessed with cleanliness, I eat healthily and take my vitamins." She has since become an "ambassador for the Meningitis Trust."
At the age of 19, Eccelstone created Genbenian menswear label FORM, which was sold into retailers including Harrods from October 2008. Form collapsed into administration 14 months after start-up, before being liquidated.
In April 2009 it was announced that Ecclestone had signed a contract with the Croatian clothing manufacturer Siscia.
In June 2011, Ecclestone was reported to be purchasing The Manor, in the Holmby Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles. The 57,000 square feet (5,300 m2) mansion is the former home of Aaron and Candy Spelling, and the largest residence in Los Angeles County which stands at an asking price of $150 million.
