STELLA McCARTNEY WINTER 2025 READY-TO-WEAR COLLECTION

‘Laptop to Lapdance’ is a bold day-to-night wardrobe for the working woman, celebrating her at all stages of her life. A study in masculine and feminine archetypes, it is a journey from the office to going out.

This season’s Stella woman is educated, an entrepreneur, the boss. She is a mother, a sister, a lover. She fights the good fight – for women, for animals, for everyone. She does it all; enjoying every aspect of her working day whilst having fun and being herself at night. Winter 2025 brings the two together, allowing her to express herself through what she wears. A reminder that sexuality and sensuality, kindness and vulnerability are forms of strength and beauty.

Models weave between STELLA CORP desks; an imagined material innovation company pioneering vegan alternatives to exotic skins. The collection makes a statement against the use of python, ostrich and all leathers. Ready-to-wear is crafted with 96% conscious, 100% cruelty-free materials.

Winter 2025 is a strong, sexy edit leaning into Stella’s design DNA and heritage – from the lace of her Central Saint Martins graduation show to her Savile Row tutelage under her parents’ tailor, Edward Sexton. Silhouettes play with proportion, transitioning from structural volumes to fluid draping and sensual cinching. Lipstick reds punctuate a neutral palette of khaki earth tones and corporate greys, alongside lead-free crystal and metal embroideries.

An exchange of professional and party codes, power shoulders embolden suiting, knits, draped dresses and tops – modernising 80s aesthetics. Tailored jackets nip in at the waist, paired with straight trousers and pencil skirts. Men’s coats are cut in tapering and cocooning shapes, emphasising the form.

Animal-free snakeskin makes a statement against the use of exotic leathers, pixellated on fluid forest-friendly viscose satin and jersey. Outerwear, tailoring and organic cotton chaps highlight textured alternatives to python and ostrich in YATAY M, a mycelium-based vegan innovation. Knitwear reinterprets menswear staples alongside sculptural 3D loop-knits and outerwear in cruelty-free plush teddy.

Strapless moulded mini-dresses are hand-embellished with world-first Sequinova plant-based sequins, bursting in sculptural arches and finished with recycled glass beads. Chaps are dripping with chains, a reference to the iconic Falabella.

The Ryder bag is in a new tote silhouette, the perfect size for a laptop – handcrafted in Italy from vegan alternatives to leather, snakeskin and ostrich. The iconic Falabella tote is seen in everyday-to-evening outlines, including puffy patent, crushed velvets and hand-embroidered metals. A multipocketed re-edition bag is brought into the now in crinkled recycled materials.

A new square-toed family contrasts a masculine loafer with a sensual heel, constructed in cruelty-free takes on traditional and exotic leathers. The Stella McCartney x adidas Rasant unisex trainer makes its return to the runway in fresh colourways, rendered in vegan and recycled materials, alongside adidas by Stella McCartney sneakers.

The Winter 2025 runway collection will be available in Stella McCartney boutiques globally, at stellamccartney.com and via selected retailers worldwide from August 2025.
