The Cruise collection is an escape into nature, bringing together a community around femininity, friendship and fashion.
June 21, 2023
The Stella McCartney Resort 2024 collection is a vibrant meditation on womanhood, nature and animals, and Stella’s American heritage and personal wardrobe – particularly from the early years of her career. A gentle palette of neutrals includes black, white, camel, raspberry, grey, oat, caramel, gesso and faded khaki green, contrasted with floral pink, sky blue, grass and tangerine, evolving Winter 2023’s ginger tones.
A surrealist Lady Garden floral print was hand-drawn in Stella’s London atelier, rendered on day-to-night halter dresses in ultra-light organic crinkled chiffon – matched by pussy-bow shirting and deconstructed skirts, falling into layers with effortless movement. It is inserted as unexpected chiffon patches on masculine organic cotton shirting. A bolder take includes dresses with asymmetric cape-sleeves and rouleau straps.
Iconic Stella animal prints are revisited as a Woodstock-inspired pattern of kind creatures in navy blue and off-white on fitted long t-shirts and flared trousers as well as organic cotton denim.
New jeans in light vintage washes are cut in a fresh banana shape. Bi-tonal overshirts and shorts continue this pale aesthetic, in beige and cream. Organic denim contrasts light washes with beige woven inserts, across boyfriend jeans and jackets.
An evening edit includes floor-length t-shirt dresses with lead-free crystal chokers and asymmetric cape-sleeved gowns in raspberry forest-friendly jersey. Moulded tuxedo dresses sit alongside men’s formal shirting, cut from contrasting organic cotton piquet and silk chiffon. Evening tailoring continues with iconic Stella capes and classic smoking jackets.
