Paris (AP) – In the central Pompidou, Helen Mirren open Stella McCartney Paris Fashion Week Show with the talk of the show the beatles “Come with me.” Because it performs less than the manifesto, we set the tone for our Tuesday night collection, surrounded by humans, animals and Mother Earth.
McCartney has long been ahead of the curve in promoting fashion sustainability. This season, she insisted on her most conscious offering. There is no leather, no fur, no feathers, no exotic skin. Instead, the world’s first innovations have appeared: Fevvers, a plant-based alternative to feathers, and Pure.tech, a programmable fabric that absorbs pollutants from the air.
If the message was serious, the mood wasn’t. The thrilling bass lines and rave reviews keep the energy high Robin WrightDylan Pen Johnny Depp Viewed from the front row.
McCartney’s silhouette explored the opposite – masculine and feminine, grounded and etheric. The tailoring of the Savile Row has been dismantled. Jackets on each side were cut open, covered in dropped lapels, worn over wide pleated pants and an 80s Italian-style shirt. Cargo codes reappear on a crisp mini bordered with airy crinoline.
The colors have shifted from candy pink, lavender and blues to khaki, corporate gray and pecan. I saw upcycling. The denim waistband collided with dresses, bags and even platform shoes.

This collection softened McCartney’s repeated aesthetics – Ecolax Innovation, ’80s-inspired power dressings, and activist theatres softened to British wit.
Sometimes, the risks of the campaign overwhelm the clothes and she turns into a didactic sight.
Still, Tuesday night confirmed why McCartney remains unique in 20 years. She can imagine fashion that blends sights with conscience, sustainability and desirability, not only boldly covers her audience, but also tries to heal the planet.
