The designer has also drawn on Stella’s own life, looking towards his time spent embedded in the New York art scene in the 1980s, when he would work during the day and party with the city’s burgeoning creative community at night. Strong shoulders are a distinct reference to that era – notably across McCartney’s now signature fur-free coats, here nipped at the waist with a tie fastening – while looped and ruched viscose dresses arrive in a vibrant palette, primed for the dance floor.

It’s a spirit of rebellion long evoked by McCartney in her own collections, which confound expectations of sustainable design.
