Stella McCartney – Opera Garnier
Stella McCartney showed her collection on Monday, 8 March. She returned to the magnificent halls of the Paris Opera Garnier where she has shown previously.
This landmark opera house was constructed by Charles Garnier and first opened its doors in 1875. This landmark masterpiece is in the Neo-Baroque style. It was designed as part of the reconstruction of Paris initiated by Napolean III during the Second Empire.
Stella McCartney showed a spare collection in great contrast to the ornately decorated great halls of the Opera Garnier. She, too, has joined the camp of the new minimalism this season. Clean lines, a calm color palette and a good dose of beautiful, accessible, luxe sportswear.
One of the best looks was a simple crew neck sweater paired with narrow wool flannel pants with wide cuff in heathery stone/ camel melange. Yes, shades of Jil Sander but Stella McCartney manages to inject her own sense of self and cool in this collection.
The following photos of some of the collection were taken in the showroom during our writing appointment.
A superb collection. Stella McCartney gave us a glimpse of how much more she is capable of.
Less is more BUT never dull.
