Yahoo Lifestyle Stella McCartney Pre-Fall 2025 Is a Collection of ’70s Cool
Like so many brands are doing right now, Stella McCartney has gone back to basics and to what she does best — gutsy tailoring, draped dresses with a twinkle of disco glamour, and make-an-entrance diva pieces.
The designer also looked back to the clothes her parents, Paul and Linda McCartney, wore in the 1970s, the Wings era when the couple were raising their children between London and the English and Scottish countryside.

This collection, like the others that came before it, was more sustainable than ever and brimming with deadstock, recycled nylon and forest-friendly viscose.
The clothes featured new materials, too, including a bio-based vegan croc made from fungi mycelium, and trainers using pineapple leaf fabric and compostable soles.
Those 1970s vibes were everywhere, from the long suede trench to the double-belted, double-denim strapless top and long matching skirt with a slit up the front. A pair of chaps-style trousers with glittery tiles channeled glam rock, while a sheer white tank top, worn sans bra, had a freewheeling feel.
Dresses were draped, sometimes slinky — and best of all, easy.
A one-sleeve blue satin dress had a long, built-in scarf, while a burgundy sheath came with a fluttery cape that morphed into draped sleeves. A black turtleneck style was as spare as a leotard, while another had power shoulders, batwing sleeves and lots of silvery sparkle.
Tailoring was slouchy, mannish and oversized, as in a cocoa brown suit with a low-slung waist and long coat, while statement pieces included a chubby-cum-stole made from thick looped yarn, and a lovely white gown with a high neck, a single sleeve and a billowy skirt made for hot nights.
