Stella McCartney: Pre-Fall 2013

Cheeky Chic!

A delightful study in elevated “cheeky chic”, the collection nodded to a cuddly side of Swinging 60s London as plush knitwear and malty tones took center stage. Avian eclipsed equine, as eagles flew upon appliquéd sweatshirts where McCartney’s signature steeds once galloped. Echoing their boldness, awning-striped matched-sets in high-contrast hues and material-blocked maxi gowns were reminiscent of late American designer Rudi Gernreich, without falling the way of literal retro.
