"In 2005, H&M tapped Stella for its sophomore collaboration. (The program debuted with Karl Lagerfeld the previous year.) Although joint collections were highly controversial at the time, and practically unheard of until H&M, the partnership paid off. The launch caused a "shopping riot" in London stores."
"McCartney clearly went through her discography of greatest hits, relaunching some of her most memorable pieces at affordable price points. Remember the "Rock Royalty" top she and Liv Tyler wore to the 1999 Met Gala (a nod to their famous musician dads, Paul McCartney and Steve Tyler, respectively)? It's reimagined in this collection for a fraction of the cost."
"The designer also reintroduced her crystal-encrusted star jeans, famously debuted by Bella Hadid on the Spring/Summer 2023 runway, albeit in a different color. The rest of the pieces stayed true to her design DNA of clean tailoring and, more important, ethical sourcing."
H&M has partnered with Stella McCartney for a second time, marking the first designer repeat in the brand's 22-year collaboration history. The 2005 initial partnership was groundbreaking and caused shopping riots in London stores. This new collection features reimagined pieces from McCartney's archives, including the iconic "Rock Royalty" top worn at the 1999 Met Gala and crystal-encrusted star jeans popularized by Bella Hadid. The collection maintains McCartney's signature design elements of clean tailoring and ethical sourcing while offering runway-quality pieces at affordable price points. Fashion editors praise the whimsical and glamorous pieces, recommending careful attention to sizing as some items run large.
