NEW SEASON FROM STELLA McCARTNEY


New for S/S13 is the latest must-have ready to wear collection from Stella McCartney. The new season range is a celebration of optimism, innocence and lightness with its playful mix of textures, colours and prints.

Blossoming flowers remain top of the fashion agenda for the new season and we love how Stella McCartney works the trend beautifully with a selection of printed silk dresses.
