Stella McCartney- autumn/winter 2009 RTW

Suit up! Tailored or jump? Overcoat with underwear- McCartney does her "Stella" better than anyone else by creating a classy collection for the young working woman, and it's sexier than ever.


Tailored suits, jumpsuits to oversized overcoats with delicate lingerie slip dresses

Stella McCartney has returned to her roots as she takes a break from her Adidas line to bring us the “Stella” look that first emerged with her graduation collection in 1995. McCartney has emphasized the delicacy of femininity in her fall ’09 RTW collection. Her suits are tailored, and her oversized coats have stylishly belted at the waist which adds a flattering touch. McCartney’s long boyfriend blazers have deep plunging necklines, and are paired with skin-tight leathers, lace lined slips and mini sweater dresses.

Stella mostly keeps to a modest palette with different shades of grey, but adds some conservative and sophisticated hues as seen in the deep red overcoat, and brilliant purple numbers. Always keeping up with the latest styles, McCartney delivers a delicious, nearly sheer purple jumpsuit that looks perfect chic yet totally comfortable. My favourite part of this collection is the re-emergence of the slip dress. Stella gives us the most exquisite slips that leave little to the imagination as she pairs silk with lace, tulle and even her longer items play peek-a-boo with sheer sections breaking up and reconnecting the delicate silhouette hugging silk. I don’t even need to mention how unbelievable the slip that Lily Donaldson is wearing is. The use of turquoise is simply enchanting and gets me every time. Oh, and one more thing – black leather jacket over a killer purple cocktail mini? The epitome of fierce.
