Winter 2021 emboldens Stella women ready for progress, blending fantasy and reality. Inspired by D is for Desire from the McCartney A to Z Manifesto, pieces reflect a collective yearning to dress up and go out – pairing heritage, glamour and sport to joyfully elevate the norm with extravagance and opulence. Exploring escapism through frivolity, celebratory, neo-heritage and edgy archetypes experiment with light and texture, playfully combining clashing prints and unexpected pairings of volume, silhouette and material.
Bringing a conscience to the fashion industry, 77% of the collection is made with sustainable materials – including coats and tailoring created using wool sourced from farms selected for their high animal welfare standards and regenerative farming practices, protecting our fellow creatures and planet. A vibrant and youthful palette of aqua, sunshine yellow, spring green and rich purple energise the season’s exuberance, grounded by an edit of classic neutrals. PVC-free sequins and glitter on lurex glimmer alongside heritage dogtooth, embodying a dual spirit of glamour and utility. Reinforcing a sense of textile and textural maximalism is soft lumberjack contrasted with the smoothness of vegan Alter Mat.
