This year’s idea for Stella McCartney‘s show was “celebrating freedom” and “exploring classics” and though it might have sounded like a contradiction, it was actually a rather apt take on what she does and what she did. For those that find fashion to be a foreign world, she’s a safe bet to hold your hand – she’ll have something not too scary but definitely stylish hanging up in her wardrobe of tricks.

She makes no-fuss clothes that don’t stint on fun. Simple though that may sound, sit through a month of shows and you’ll soon discover it’s not such an easy combination to pull off. Few designers have the effortless thing down quite like McCartney does.

As always, silhouettes were easy to wear, breezy for shirts and structured for when the office calls. Stella knows who she is dressing, the demands of daily life and how to marry that with the commands of fashion.

For Fall, she conjured that easy, breezy feeling from the first look out: a black coat and pants that could have coded dull, but absolutely didn’t thanks to the coat’s swooshy, handkerchief skirt and the pants’ godet hem. She zhuzhed up other trousers with deep cuffs or paper-bag waistbands. Jackets, meanwhile, came with wrapping details at the waist or buttoned askew; stripped of any businesslike connotations, they remained utterly suitable for the office.

Stella’s style is full of surprises: the super luxurious knitted sweater, here off-the-shoulder and in rich bottle green, there were huge dress versions of them too; the classic tailored trouser suit, elongated turn-ups on flared legs today; solid mannish coats, empire lines and a masculine take on a bow on this outing; and fun details to find just the right amount of personality without going too far off-piste – the sweet kick-flare pants won that prize with their undulating ruffle.

Her touch of masculine-meets-feminine came with corsets built into tailoring, tough felts given a less harsh edge with asymmetric hemlines dancing around legs. There’s always s finesse and gloss to even her standard safe staples that appeals.

The idea McCartney was trying to get at with this collection—of structured silhouettes unraveling to suggest something more fluid—worked nicely elsewhere.
