Slaying in Stella

The puffer coats, the metallics, the luxury, oh my! The Stella McCartney Fall 2016 RTW Collection was absolutely stunning with its variety of textiles and colors. She features puffer coats in copper, black, and this deep, midnight blue. The oversized coats complimented the metallic culottes and sleek hair. Some models rocked one earring, some rocked none, but they all SLAYED. There was a definite 40’s influence in the styling and some of the garments, like the silk slip maxi dress with lace cut-outs and knife pleats, as well as the side-swept hair with soft waves.

One of the highlights (in my opinion) was the swan graphic that appeared on a few pieces. I feel it added elements of whimsy and playfulness to the collection. The velvet garments, though, were the icing on the cake, because who wouldn’t want a giant oversized puffer coat in a velvet blue? (It would be like wearing a cloud, right?)

A touch of denim, a touch of femininity, some tennis shoes, and a few (on-trend) color pops made for an eye-catching and signature “Stella” show.
