Back to Stella McCartney

Daddy Paul in pole position. The Arnault family lined up all alongside him. A catwalk of yellow, red and blue paths. They pay homage to the Centre Pompidou, in whose square Stella McCartney's outdoor show took place, combining fashion and art. A new collaboration with Japanese artist Yoshitomo Nara on the clothes and in spirit. With a look at the very essence of the brand, which is told by a new milestone, namely the collection presented is the most sustainable to date (87%). «The most important thing this season is that we have regenerated cotton, which we have been experimenting with for three years in Turkey», Stella McCartney herself explained to MFF immediately after the show. «It means it encourages nature. It captures all the carbons in the soil. Then we have the vegan shoes made from plant-based materials and the bags made from mycelium. We do not use glues and solvents. In fact, we have fewer colors to choose from. It is a very different process from the usual ones, but we hope for a fabulous result».

Therefore, there is a reaffirmation of that green mission of Stella McCartney, but also her aesthetic sense, accompanied by looks that recall the origins. Minimalistic and sexy at the same time, between biased cuts and masculine jackets with a more tailoring flavor, to be paired with shameless crystals that become a top of draped chains. Girlish with special highs and asymmetries in skirts and sleeves. The Hadid sisters were absolutely stunning: short-cropped jacket on Gigi, visible hips in pants inlaid with stars for Bella, who lights up the finale with a bling ring jumpsuit that leaves little to the imagination. What does being part of Lvmh entail? «It is a positive influence», Stella McCartney continued. «The fact that Mr. Arnault is sitting right there, filtering everything, leading him to compare our brand with the other maisons in the group, understanding that there is no sacrifice in quality or method of creation. They have been very generous with the regenerated cotton process, because as a little Maison we could not have afforded these three years of investment, and now they can see the result. The same thing happened last year with material made from vineyard waste. Now, Mr. Arnault is trying to do it with his own vineyards»

Judgement. Sunny days in Paris even if the sky promises rain. The collection is light and animated by a spirit that pleases, indomitable even in that eco-research that has become a symbol of the Maison. (All rights reserved)
