Behind the Seams: Stella McCartney Turns on Christmas Lights

FabSugarUK — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 02:00:26 -0800

Last night, Stella McCartney hosted her annual Christmas lights event at her Bruton Street store. This year, Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt of the Mighty Boosh had the honour of turning them on as they put on their gladrags for the event! Stella received support at the party from her sister Mary, and celebrity pals Twiggy, Carly Lawson, Louise Redknapp and Jamie Redknapp. Stella wore a pair of lace side leggings (£750) with a satin jacket from her own collection, whilst Louise nearly stole the limelight in a see-through black jumpsuit.

Fab Flash: Stella McCartney for GapKids Part 2

FabSugarUK — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 00:41:36 -0800

Stella McCartney's first ever childrenswear collection landed in Gap stores across the globe earlier this month and has already been so successful that they've snapped her up for another.

The British designer who had previously had a sell-out womenswear collaboration with H&M, created on trend yet practical items for kids which adults wanted for themselves. The best selling item from the line was a military jacket for boys.

Stella will now go on to create another line for Gap Kids and Gap Baby for the Spring which will be available from March 2010. I can't wait to see what she designs, are you glad Stella is doing another collection for Gap?

Sneak Peek! Stella McCartney Intimates, Spring '10

FabSugar — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 12:00:22 -0800

Last Spring's Stella McCartney lingerie offering was colorful, but this time around, the designer is feeling softer with neutral pales, dusty pinks, and lavender. There are 15 groups, each with a cheeky name like Rosie Plotting, Eva Scampering, and Billie Twirling. "This season we looked at the '20s and '50s, which comes through the range in silhouette and specially developed embroidery and gold retro hardware," McCartney said. Look forward to prints like florals, feathers, and ladybugs, and fabrics like tulle, mesh, and silk crepe de chine. Prices range from $45 to $195 - the Spring '10 line will land at Bergdorf Goodman, Barneys New York, and Bloomingdale’s.

Stella Helps Leona Lewis Go Vegan (Designer)

FabSugar — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 10:08:08 -0800

Leona Lewis has gone vegan, and who better to help her than Stella McCartney? Rumor has it the songstress - who doesn't wear fur, suede, or leather - has enlisted Stella's help to create her own vegan clothing and accessories line. What makes this collection different from Stella's? Leona wants it to be a more affordable option. This is one celebrity designer collection I would like to see.

The Mighty Boosh Bring a Merry Christmas to Stella McCartney

PopSugarUK — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 03:09:16 -0800

Noel Fielding, Julian Barratt and the rest of The Mighty Boosh cast helped Stella McCartney switch on the Christmas lights at her London store last night! Dressed in drag, Noel and Julian performed songs with the rest of their Boosh band, but - as you can tell - they weren't wearing Stella's clothing line. The woman of the night was, however. Stella stepped out in leggings featuring a lace insert and a satin coat, while Louise Redknapp wore a sparkly body suit that showed onlookers more than they bargained for under the camera lights! Louise was accompanied by her hubby Jamie, and other guests included Stella's sister Mary, and Twiggy.

Would You Be Interested in Leona Lewis for Stella McCartney?

FabSugarUK — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 00:00:44 -0800

Leona Lewis is a strict vegetarian and has been rumoured to be creating her own eco fashion line many times. This week the gossip is more specific as it is reported that she has been in talks with Stella McCartney. The two have similar principles as Leona once spoke about how she gave away a Burberry handbag because it was made from leather. She also turned down £1 million to open the Harrods sale last year because the store sells fur. Leona is particularly interested in designing shoes and handbags. If these two Brits collaborated, would you be interested in the range?

Stella McCartney for Gap Childrenswear

FabSugarUK — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 01:15:19 -0700

At the beginning of the Summer, Stella McCartney revealed plans to launch a childrenswear line with Gap. This is the first time the British designer has created clothes for children and I couldn't wait to see what she created. Well, the wait is finally up as images from the ad campaign has just been unveiled. The clothes are gorgeous and play in to trends in a fun way. For example, there are military jackets with a little soldier feel and cute tutu skirts. Being a Mother of three has definitely helped Stella along the way. She has considered the practical elements whilst keeping it fun, for example, some of the pieces come with felt tip pens so the children can customise it themselves.

She explained to WWD,

“A big part of the excitement for me was not just the clothes but the shoes. Because so many people had said to me, ‘I can’t get shoes for my kids that aren’t leather.’”

The pieces are available from 2nd November. What do you think of her first foray in to childrenswear?
