But 20 years\u00a0ago, I was interested in doing this,&#8221; McCartney explained in a press junket. &#8220;But I stipulated\u00a0a very clear\u00a0list of requirements all\u00a0around sustainability. They managed, to their credit, to deliver on [those] sustainability [goals], and it sold out in seconds.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s collection, which features modern takes on archival styles and &#8220;icons,&#8221;like the  brand&#8217;s studded &#8220;Rock Royalty&#8221; tee and Falabella chains, keeps <a href=\"https:\/\/www.refinery29.com\/en-us\/2021\/12\/10787874\/mushroom-leather-sustainable-fashion-future\">sustainable materials<\/a> at the forefront, featuring organic cotton, recycled crystals, and RWS Standard-certified wool. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I really wanted to make it quite gender-fluid. Because I wear men\u2019s suits all the time, so anyone can wear it,&#8221; McCartney said, adding: &#8220;I want a younger, wider audience to have access to myself [and] to impact people\u2019s wardrobe in a positive way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>From sharp tailoring, oversized shirting, chic shoulder bags, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.refinery29.com\/en-us\/trench-coat-trends-2026\">trench coats<\/a> (for more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.refinery29.com\/en-us\/spring-blazers-for-women\">workwear-inspired pieces<\/a>) to bejeweled prints, sparkling tops, mixed-metal jewelry, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.refinery29.com\/en-us\/never-fully-dressed-sheer-dress-review\">mesh dresses<\/a> (perfect for parties), the collection is equally nostalgic and modern, especially when modeled by today&#8217;s It girls like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.refinery29.com\/en-us\/renee-rapp-amazon-wishlist\">Rene\u00e9 Rapp<\/a>, Adwoa Aboah, and Angelina Kendall.<\/p>\n<p>Ahead, preview the much-anticipated <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"H&amp;M x Stella McCartney collaboration (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www2.hm.com\/en_us\/women\/new-arrivals\/view-all.html\" target=\"_blank\">H&amp;M x Stella McCartney collaboration<\/a> lookbook.
