Stella McCartney to launch a men's lineAccording to WWD, which is great news for us, as it means that men can also enjoy the exquisite taste of this 44-year-old Londoner.
In addition, all the collections created by the daughter of Paul McCartney are vegan, since is an activist for animal rights, like his mother, Linda. So from that point of view there are also reasons to be happy, because more and more of us are concerned that behind the garment we are buying, from a leather boots to a wool sweater, there is animal cruelty.
After 15 years designing women's clothing, and doing a really good job, Stella could present its first men's collection next June, which would correspond to the spring / summer season 2017. However, it would not be the designer's first foray into menswear, because before being creative director of Chloé, she worked with Edward Sexton, a renowned tailor specializing in men's suits. Later, he went back to designing for men on the occasion of his collections for Adidas.
Apparently, the launch of a men's line is part of a strategy that aims to expand its firm, passing from simple fashion brand to lifestyle, although, paradoxically it occurs at a time when the industry is heading towards the demolition of the classic gender division, with the trend now being unisex collections.
Either way, we can't wait to see what kind of man this woman imagines, whose sense of style is way above average. Her feminine garments are simple but very sophisticated (You can't expect less from a Virgo), so it will also be interesting to see if she continues along that line in her men's collections or decides to explore other paths.
