Leave it to Stella McCartney to make the office look fun. For her latest ready-to-wear show, the designer turned the workplace into a fashion playground. Dubbed “STELLA CORP,” the Stella McCartney Fall 2025 RTW runway presentation was set in a fully realized corporate office, complete with desks, computers, “The Stella Times” newspapers on every chair, corporate-branded stationery, and an atmosphere that was equal parts professional and provocative. The setting blurred the lines between work and after-hours, reinforcing McCartney’s belief that style should transition seamlessly from day to night.
Fashion heavyweights and A-listers filled the front row, adding to the spectacle. Kate Moss, Cameron Diaz, Tom Ford, Ice Spice, and Olivia Colman were among those watching as models navigated desks and office chairs in power suits and thigh-high boots.
Structured, oversized tailoring remained a key feature, but this season, it was paired with unexpected details—double-breasted blazers worn against bare skin, slouchy trousers that balanced sharp shoulders, and fluid jersey dresses with subtle ruching. Thigh-high boots in glossy vegan materials added an edge, while casual elements like slogan tees and fringed denim kept things approachable.
“This is the first show I’ve done alone since leaving college,” McCartney shared. “I want to design for women who work hard and still want to feel confident and stylish when they step out.”
Sustainability remained central, with 96% of the collection crafted from conscious materials. Innovations like Yatay M, a vegan fabrication made from fungi mycelium and recycled polyester, and forest-friendly viscose mimicked exotics like leather and ostrich, showcasing McCartney’s commitment to churning out ethical fashion without compromising on aesthetics.
The show closed with an unexpected moment—two guests jumping up to pole dance, adding a lighthearted touch to the office setting. It was a reminder that fashion, like work, should be both serious and fun.
