STELLA MCCARTNEY: Rich & Unpredictable Silhouettes for Fall 2022 at the Paris Fashion Week Runway

Stella McCartney partnering with Frank Stella delivered rich and unpredictable silhouettes for Fall 2022 at the Paris Fashion Week runway and here are some highlights!

In the trendier department, the season’s go-to silhouette infiltrated this runway, too: the oversized jacket styled over a lingerie element and a slinky leg component, with the season’s runner-up just behind it in the shape of bodysuits, which—in this case—underlined the sculptural premise of the collaboration. McCartney accessorized her collection courtesy of an innovative technology that turns grape skins into mock leather, “so all the wine you’ve been drinking lockdown has been turned into a handbag,” she said.

Asked about the John F. Kennedy peace speech that played as guests took their seats, and the finale soundtrack featuring the Plastic Ono Band’s Give Peace a Chance, McCartney—who made a donation to CARE, an organization providing emergency crisis support to Ukraine—said she needed to address the contrast of organizing a fashion showcase at this moment in time: “It’s a very strange thing to do under the circumstances. We wanted to make a statement against war.” – Vogue
