To mark the launch of Stella McCartney’s first menswear collection, SSENSE spoke with the designer about the inspirations behind the new collection that merges sustainability and psychedelia.
In its dusty rose hues, its emerald greens, its campy embroideries, and trippy fonts that make you feel as though you’re reading 3D print without the proper glasses, Stella McCartney’s Spring/Summer 2017 debut menswear collection has a reduxed LSD vibe. It will therefore come as no great plot twist that Stella’s iconic dad was an inspiration for her first ever menswear collection. After all, the British-born, London-trained designer was raised in the gloaming of Paul’s post-Beatles fame. But now the prodigal daughter returns by harkening back to the mind-expanding drugs and experimental art of the late 60s for her maiden voyage into menswear.
