Stella McCartney Runway
4 March 2007 23:37 Plucky in Pink
The image of a lithe young woman in clothing that swamps her fragile frame was driven home by the skirt lengths that were resolutely short throughout.
Lean, nude limbs seemed all the more perfect for the spike-heeled ankle boots that only added to their preternatural length.

PARIS, March 1, 2007 –
The opening look at Stella McCartney—a frankly fake fur ingeniously fashioned from dense whorls of hand-tufted yarn—set the tone: Welcome to one of the least pretentious and most playful shows of Paris fashion week.
The fun continued with knits, including a hard-to-miss oversize red-and-black cardigan woven into a polar-bear pattern. And last season’s rompers grew legs, becoming fine-gauge jumpsuits in hot pink or sweatshirt gray.It wasn't all games. Outerwear was sportif too, but also seriously chic.
McCartney focused on loose, flaring, of-the-moment silhouettes like trapeze coats and capes. Hooded anoraks were adorably egg-shaped.Fans of her sophisticated Savile Row suits, though, will have to content themselves with a satin-lapel smoking and a cropped, double-breasted jacket with brass buttons.
The look at Stella is extremely young and very long on leg, which meant few pants and short, short, short hems on baby-doll smocks, petticoat dresses, and curvy bustier styles. For extra cheek, she paired them with ankle boots and socks. Count on McCartney to bring the charm.
