STELLA MCCARTNEY

Following Stella's departure from Chloé in 2001 to develop her own label as part of the Gucci group. She opened her New York store in 2002. Eminently wearable and at the same time directional, McCartney's line blends sweet elements like pastel silks and ribbons with street-worthy rocker accents, like slasher tees and industrial zippers. All clothes are animal-free, including the shoes, which are outfitted from a leatherlike plant derivative.
