Stella McCartney's Yeast Jumper & Horse Show
5 Mar
Summary
- Designer Stella McCartney marked 25 years with dancing horses and a yeast jumper.
- McCartney's brand faces financial concerns but champions ethical fashion.
- Pieter Mulier departs Alaïa for a scrutinized role at Versace.
British designer Stella McCartney recently marked her 25th anniversary in the fashion industry with a show at Paris Fashion Week. The event featured a spectacle of a dozen dancing horses to symbolize the Chinese Year of the Horse, alongside a notable jumper crafted from yeast. This innovation comes as McCartney's brand, while facing financial scrutiny with potential money issues by 2028, continues to champion ethical fashion, notably never using leather, feathers, fur, or animal skins.
In parallel industry news, Pieter Mulier concluded his tenure at Alaïa, a move that precedes his significant appointment as the new designer for Versace. This transition places Mulier in a highly scrutinized role, replacing Donatella Versace. Versace, recently acquired by the Prada group in December, is reportedly banking on Mulier's distinct anti-trend, sculptural aesthetic, a stark contrast to the brand's previous designer, Dario Vitale. Mulier's innovative accessories, like his widely copied ballet flats, have previously garnered significant attention.
