Stella McCartney Launches Second H&M Collection
British fashion designer Stella McCartney launched her second collection with H&M on May 7, marking the retailer's latest limited-edition designer collaboration available online and in select stores worldwide.
The collection, which debuted at 7 a.m. PST in regions including Canada and 9 a.m. BST elsewhere, revives McCartney's partnership with the Swedish fast-fashion giant first established in 2005. That initial drop, the second major designer team-up for H&M after Karl Lagerfeld's the prior year, sold out within minutes and days. Items from this new range, priced accessibly from around $38 for tops to $399 for outerwear, quickly drew attention for blending McCartney's signature oversized tailoring, androgynous silhouettes, and monochromatic palettes with playful elements like rhinestone jeans, crystal-embellished bodysuits, and cherry-print dresses.
"I see this collection as a journey through my fashion history," McCartney said in a statement. "It is a true mix of current classics and some of my old favourites that showcase my first forays into fashion and the development of my signatures. It's playful, strong, sparkling, joyful, refined."
