CUBA WAS THE INSPIRATION for Stella McCartney‘s optimistic, vivacious and energetic collection. It came in stark contrast with New York’s grey skies on the day, but not so much with the garden party she threw to present the collection, where guests were entertained with stilt-walkers, a large supply of rum drinks, and models twirling around to the danzón in the most beautiful canary yellow and peach ankle-grazing flowy trapeze dresses.
Aside from the gowns that will most likely be in everyone’s wish list, there were reinvented shirt dresses with sculptural tailoring–ideal for a summer in the city–as well as little black and white shirt dresses embroidered in fresh floral prints, and ensembles with geometric cut-outs that provide the perfect mix between modernity and femininity. It’s a collection that can be adapted to every modern woman’s life, whether it be exploring the Greek islands, or jet-setting around the world’s fashion capitals. —Victoria
