PFW: Stella McCartney

STELLA MCCARTNEY

So I finally get to see Stella McCartney's collection - my macbook has been m.i.a for a few days (my gremlin of a kitten chewed through the charger cord - $150 later I'm up and running again). As usual, the collection is pure fab - girl can do no wrong. It opened with some of what I like to call Chubby Coats - they look insanely comfortable (I so wish for one to curl up in on the way to Uni in the winter). I particularly love the contrast between the coat and the leather in the first look.

McCartney can always be counted on to show some to-die-for blazers, and certainly didnt disappoint. Love the extra long lines. The grey is lovely and soft - looks stunning with white. And the brick/burgundy red one is surprisingly lovely (I've always associated red jackets with fox hunter, or Hugh Hefner.) I think the lines, cut and slightly washed out colour really elevate it to another level.
There were also som insane lace pieces - angular cutouts filled with soft, sheer-as-hell lace. So gorgeous - feminine, deicate, graphic, dark. I die for that last dress with the velvet bottom.
I'm never usually a bright blue girl (the colour really doesn't like me) but the collection had some really appealing pieces - that metallic blue biker jacket is insane. Wanted.
The detail shots really let the lace shine - love the lace panel of the hip/thigh of the dress on the left. And the how the looseness of the second shows the body lines.
The boots the went on for-ev-er are to die for. So hot and slick and would be so warm - I wonder how easy they are to get in to? Even better are the laser cut pairs.
