Presented during Paris Fashion Week at Le Grand Manège Jean Caucanas, honoring the Year of the Horse, the Stella McCartney Fall 2026 RTW runway collection traces her life to date: An upbringing defined by freedom, humor and bold color, formative creative milestones, and the brand we know today.

The collection features vegan fur alternatives, vintage lace, Savile Row tailoring and 80s sportswear – crafted from 93% sustainable materials. Moiré, Chantilly lace and silk jacquards reference lingerie influences from Stella’s early collections. Tailoring remains fundamental: single- and double-breasted jackets in responsibly sourced wool and GRS-certified blends shaped with defined waists and strong shoulders.  Fisherman rib constructions are inspired by Stella’s upbringing in Scotland, reinterpreted with padded stitch detailing, seamless intarsias and semi-sheer wool-silk blends. Chunky textures sit beside slinky compact rib dresses and cropped polo sets, balancing masculinity with sensuality.

 

Denim evolves into 100% recycled styles, cargo zips and lead-free crystal-embellished pieces. Jersey explores athletic silhouettes, striped preppy polos with the Stella McCartney crest; childlike star and heart prints in mesh; playful S&M graphics and airbrushed ponies created in the brand’s atelier. The slogan tank returns with ‘My Dad Is A Rockstar’.

In bags, the new Appaloosa silhouette introduces new colourways, animal textures and a mini crossbody size. Falabella returns in mink-effect vegan fur alternatives and leopard jacquards aligning with ready-to-wear. The Ryder Pochette appears with quilted diamond stitching and cruelty-free croc. Evening bags feature chainmail constructions. Footwear unites bags and shoes through texture and print stories. An architectural, pyramid stiletto heel is introduced.

 

Guests including Oprah, Gayle King, Paul McCartney, Machine Gun Kelly and more were invited to escape from external chaos and step into an equine world, experiencing the power, strength and majesty of a human-horse connection.
