Stella McCartney said of her energic Spring collection backstage. As a young Central Saint Martins graduate in the late nineties, McCartney made a fast impression with her Savile Row-inflected suits and lace-edged slip dresses.
The designer played with two central conceits: oversize tailoring and delicate yet still sporty dresses. The tailoring side of the dialogue featured jackets with the bolder shoulders we've seen on other Paris runways, or boxy cuts belted low in back to create blouson silhouettes. Pants were loose and long or full and cropped above the ankle. An organza tracksuit was a reminder of her Olympic summer.
McCartney is a hitmaker. Among this season's plisse organza numbers with graphic splashes of bright color, the winner was a racerback style worn by Anja Rubik, its royal blue mille-feuille organza embroideries bisected by a transparent panel at the midriff. See through sheers were a constant motif, from the clear plastic minaudieres all the way down to the models easy to walk Lucite pltforms.
