Saks and Stella McCartney Partner for Exclusive Eveningwear Line
Saks has dedicated its Fifth Avenue windows to the capsule.
Saks and Stella McCartney have teamed up to launch an exclusive eveningwear capsule, timed to celebrate this year's Met Gala.
The limited-edition collection called "Stellabration" revisits red carpet dresses from the British designer's archive, which were recreated for Saks in midnight tones alongside crystal-embellished vegan accessories including the brand's Falabella bag and Elsa kitten heels.
"Our latest designer collaboration with Stella McCartney is a celebration of iconic luxury fashion, timed perfectly to fashion's biggest red carpet. We worked with
Stella and her incredibly talented team to reimagine some of her most memorable red carpet looks from over the years for this limited-edition ‘Stellabration' capsule. We are honored that Stella chose Saks to bring this special collection to life, and are excited to deliver fashion our customers can't find anywhere else through this exclusive collaboration," said Tracy Margolies, chief merchandising officer at Saks Inc.
"It makes me a bit emotional to see some of our most iconic Stella red carpet gowns and Falabella bags brought to life again, and to get to share with the world the opportunity to wear these rare, precious pieces, too. It's a true reminder that beautiful, timeless fashion never goes out of style and is true sustainability," said Stella McCartney.
In keeping with McCartney's philosophy, all items were handmade using innovative sustainable and cruelty-free alternatives.
Among the key looks are high-necked column dresses in transparent, lead-free crystal mesh, reinterpreting custom Stella McCartney worn by Julia Garner at the Met Gala 2021, alongside a figure-hugging, longsleeve gown in soft blue forest-friendly viscose cady — revisiting a Beyoncé look from the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in 2015.
The capsule also includes white gowns draped in cascading cady featuring leadfree crystal halters, alongside asymmetric scarf dresses in forest-friendly viscose satin. Vegan accessories include lead-free crystal embellishments on Elsa kitten heels and Falabella bags, with recycled brass and recyclable aluminum chains and recycled satin bases.
To celebrate the launch, the Saks flagship in New York will dedicate its Fifth Avenue
windows to the collection and offer visual installations showcasing the capsule on the main and third floors through May 18.
In addition, Saks and McCartney hosted a private event in New York on Sunday night to celebrate the collaboration.
The “Stellabration” capsule will be available on Saks.com and at select Saks FifthAvenue stores starting Monday.
