STELLA MCCARTNEY

Stella McCartney did what she does best, delivering a show at Paris Fashion Week that brimmed with joyful, laid-back styles. Fluid silhouettes met sportswear, while loose knitwear was raw and deconstructed. Oversized “boyfriend blazers” were conceived in sustainable viscose and lightweight linen.

The spring palette — washed-out neon colours and “dirty pastels” — felt as fresh as the funky soundtrack for the show inside Paris’ lofty opera house. So did the wallpaper florals on a swimwear-jumpsuit hybrid. “The bold and the feminine... the quintessential... the classically Stella,” is how the house described the ready-towear show.
