The spring/summer collection this year was a mixed bag to say the least by Stella McCartney. Some of it seemed awkward, and at odds with the rest of the collection. I know that denim is making a come back, but a knee length, tight, faded denim skirt though very wearable, looked to me like it could only be worn along the lines of a middle aged school teacher, or just any middle aged woman with limited style. There were quite few bits actually that looked very much aimed at the older woman, however I'm digressing from the point of this blog. There were many other pieces, which I thought were gorgeous. Very sophisticated, but modern with lots of pieces in camel brown, mixed with fresh white lace. The pastels she used looked richer and more luxurious made in raw silks, than many that have walked down the catwalks of other designers, in their sheers and feminine ruffles.
The second half of the collection couldn't have differed more from the first; bold colour, frivolous volume and over-sized, whirling ruffles potentially inspired by the Spanish flamenco dancers? Concentrate on the chic and sexy side of this collection and you'll forget all about those unfortunate denim pieces...almost.
