Get your wardrobe kitted out for 2010.

Former Central Saint Martins student and British designer Stella McCartney has revealed 2010’s Autumn/Winter must-have wardrobe staples. The renowned fashion designer recently hit the Paris runways in order to showcase her new no-nonsense debut line.

This year’s line however is less showy and in your face, the range features a look that echoes a laid back casual cool. Matching trouser sets, immpeccable tailoring and luxurious knits in cashmere made up this seasons daywear whilst lace evening wear embellished in subtle sequins created a look that boasted perfect no-nonsense glamour.

These quality pieces still echo the designers much-loved signiture style and high-standard yet the pieces appear much more laid-back than her previous collections. Garments include sixties style tunics in two styles, one offers a more subtle look for daytime attire whilst the other is more appropriate for evening, with a revealing neckline and added chiffon detailing. Other pieces included graphic print futuristic short dresses teamed with uber fitted trousers, these items worked well together to create the perfect silhoette.

The new collaborations are said to be both flattering in fit yet still comfortable to wear through out the day. This sex appeal was achieved through the detailing and added embellishments which stood out on each garment. Skirt suits were finished with a chiffon band and over sized ribbed knits were created in bright block colours, adding some extra pizazz to an otherwise everyday item. Even the parka jackets appeared sophisticated, created in both tan and black and white shades with added zip adornments appearing on the central back seams.

These are the perfect wardrobe essentials for the up and coming autumn and winter season, as whilst they are still sexy they are also comfortable and subtle enough to wear daily, whether that be the office or out for cocktails after work.

Stella McCartney raises awareness for her environmental campaign ‘Meat Free Monday’.

Prestigious fashion designer, Stella McCartney has recently released the second installment of her exclusive GapKids range.  The new line features two one-off tees that will only be availaible to purchase from a few chosen London stores, the new garments have been created in order to raise awareness for the designers environmental campaign, ‘Meat Free Monday’.  The campaign aims to make the public aware of the effects of meat consumption and production regarding the climate-change and how the meat industry is in fact harming the planet’s resources.

The T-shirt creations consist of both a girl and a boy design complete with a superhero illustration and the designers famous Intarsia leopard.  Created using only organic cotton and animal friendly fabrics, Stella McCartney sticks to her strict vegetarian rules.

The First set of kids designs created for the Gap brand were extremely popular and an instant sell-out, we’re sure the second set of younger suited garments  will be as equally in demand.  The designer has said she really enjoys creating collaborations for the label and regards it as a great way for parents to participate in the Stella McCartney clothing brand, as each of the pieces are extremely resonably priced.  The kids range, like the designers entire line, has only ethical concepts in mind.  Being a strict vegetarian the designer refuses to create any of her line using leather, fur or any fabric that causes harm to animals.  These are clothes that have been designed to be worn and not shown off.
