Beautiful Utilitarianism @ Stella McCartney Resort SS17



November 10th 2016. 

Stella McCartney previews her debut menswear and pre-spring 2017 womenswear collections just across the street from Abbey Road studios where her father and the rest of The Beatles recorded the album of the same name in 1969.

As soon as I saw the first released photos of McCartney's collection I was taken aback.

The collection encapsulates everything that I am loving in terms of fashion design trends, fabric cuts, garment shapes, fabrics and colour palettes at the moment. Channelling utilitarianism through the tailored-looking boxy jackets and shirts with exposed stitching and stiff shoulders, McCartney cleverly contrasts this with dresses and shirts of hound and landscape printed silky fabrics, pleats, neutral knits and lace. 

A beautiful collection and possibly one of my favourite of Stella's to date.

Here's a round-up of some of my favourite pieces...


cuffed denim with this interesting ruched waist and sleeves


sport socks, polka dots and hounds print
