IS STELLA MENSWEAR ON THE WAY?

Stella McCartney

HAVING cornered the womenswear market, Stella McCartney has set her sights on the world of menswear according to reports this morning. The London-based designer is said to be launching her first menswear collection for the spring/summer 2017 season in June, according to WWD, although which city it will be in is as yet unknown.



It wouldn't be McCartney's first brush with menswear - the designer cut her teeth on Savile Row in the early days of her career working for Edward Sexton before she was appointed creative director at Chloé in 1997. The only additional category that she has introduced to her eponymous womenswear brand, which she founded in 2001 and is owned by Kering, has been childrenswear in 2010.
Currently in the middle of preparation for its ready-to-wear autumn/winter 2016 show in Paris on March 7, the brand gave no comment when contacted this morning.
