“I really wanted to create something precious”, says Stella McCartney when talking about her garments. The designer begins from this statement whenever creating a new line and, as you will see, this is also the case with the Winter 2011 collection.
Her clothes are targeted towards sophisticated women. Each piece looks gorgeous and the lookbook, although based on simple, basic combos, is amazing. The tones are usually neuter, like black, gray, camel and light browns. But nothing makes a statement quite as a red item, so Stella McCartney brings us elegant mini dresses, coats and tops in this color. Since winter is the holiday season, some pieces have a festive look, brought in by the sparkly textures. All of these make great outfits for Christmas or New Year parties.
The brand encourages an eco attitude and is against animal cruelty. To support this idea, Stella McCartney shows us how to look good without harming any animals for fur and skin: animal prints (leopard and snake are especially present), faux-fur and cute horse graphic tees. The outerwear is not made of wool, but of synthetic fabrics, and it looks nonetheless fabulous.
Another thing to note in this collection is the peplum shape for tops. This geometric line creates an interesting figure, and it looks good with fitted bottoms. Speaking of which, Stella McCartney has pants for all tastes: skinny, motorcycle style jeans, trousers with comfy side pockets, jersey pants, long, straight dress pants, cropped and so on.
When it comes to shoes, the winter looks are well put together with pointy heels in black and nude. The nude ones are particularly flattering, since they make the leg look longer than it is. The catalog also shows booties and boots, both heeled and flat, with studs and buckles.
