aris, 07/03/11. Stella McCartney.

Showing in the grand ‘National Opera’, McCartney pushed her signature concepts of masculinity and femininity into bold new territories. Sharply tailored pantsuits with jackets got the supersize treatment and a particularly cool baseball jacket with faux leather sleeves was morphed into a full-length coat. Gold laminated knits with dropped shoulders created relaxed shapes whilst holding their form, and sleeves had a soft, sculptural quality. For evening, McCartney changed gear and cut loose, revealing the feminine side of the collection, with polka dots layered onto tuille T-shirts or inset into sexy, contoured black dresses. Bravo!
