In a graden of flowers
Stella McCartney and Dries van Noten, following on the rosy heels of the Balenciaga show on Tuesday, are two designers who clearly belong in the camp that favors country-club garden prints.
Those at Ms. McCartney’s show Thursday morning came fast, furious and in three ways: as faint bouquets on layers of silk georgette, for minidresses; as a riotous wildflower motif on a silk voile jumpsuit; and as a woodblock-like paisley on crepe de Chine, in a short coat and a long dress that dangled from minuscule shoulder straps. They looked delicate, not dainty.
For far too long, making pretty things has been a pursuit that designers have treated derisively, sometimes claiming to do so with a sense of irony, favoring the jolie laide (or pretty-ugly) or masking a floral print beneath a black motorcycle jacket. But Ms. McCartney’s designs seem increasingly sincere, without cynicism toward clothes that may be either too girly or ones that customers actually want to wear.

Stella McCartney is back in London
Stella Mccartney made a brief appearence on the catwalk last night after showing her spring summer 08 collection for Adidas in London for the first time. The show, which closed London Fashion Week last night, revealled Stella's latest sportwear creations on a bright green astroturfed catwalk. Not to be outdone by other returning Brits this season (Luella had a live rock band and Matthew Williamson had Prince) Stella had her own rock legend front row for the show, in the shape of her dad Sir Paul Mccartney. We particularly loved the ruffle hem, nude dress...if exercise clothes are going to look like that this season we might actually join the gym!
