settembre 15, 2021 - Stella McCartney
Stella McCartney continuing to bridge the divide between luxury & sportswear with met gala looks
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
For the 2021 Met Gala, #stellamccartney with #adidas by #stellamccartney will be dressing #ellaemhoff, a model, artist and #fashion and #niadennis former UCLA gymnast. As well as a 30-person marching band from Brooklyn United, a community-based music and arts organization that serves #newyork City youth.
Stella McCartney takes us through her and her teams’ thoughts creating the looks, the idea behind it all, and what this means for the future of luxury and sportswear.
Can you talk a little about the process and work that goes into creating a look for the Met Gala?
The Met Gala has been such an important part of the Stella story for over 20 years, both for me personally as a designer and my brand. It is the landmark moment of the #fashion calendar; a global platform to share our message of sustainable #fashion and supporting next-gen talent. Making the looks is a collaboration between myself, the talent and my team that starts months in advance – once we know the year’s theme, we get sketching!
Everything is custom made at our London atelier and, this year, collaborating with our long-term partners #adidas – I believe it’s among the first and only times a major sportswear label has been on this red carpet. It speaks to the new world of the Met Gala; one that is more diverse, inclusive and with athletes and activists, not just celebrities and models. We fit the talent and before you know it, it’s the big night!
What are the most important things to remember when preparing for such an event?
The Met Gala red carpet is truly iconic, and everyone loves revisiting their favourite looks from the past. We all know when the person is wearing the dress, and when the dress is wearing the person. I never want that to happen with my pieces – they need to look effortlessly chic and comfortable, immediately recognisable as a Stella. Success for me is if they continue to look fabulous and timeless in the photos for years to come.
How have Nia and Ella inspired the creation of the designs that they will each be wearing?
The palette for both looks was inspired by this year’s Americana theme, with Nia in blue and Ella in red. Both were also wearing bespoke masks and embellished custom #adidas by #stellamccartney Earthlight trainers, which I am proud to say are our newest technical running shoe that help athletes to move with purpose, crafted with PRIMEBLUE, a high-performance recycled yarn, as well as a partially recycled midsole. The looks we created for them reflect them as next gen changemakers and celebrate their femininity, modernity and strength.
I am such a fan of Nia and I’m so excited to work closer with her on some amazing projects we have in the pipeline. At this year’s Met Gala, Nia is wearing a bodycon jumpsuit from our #adidas collaboration – one of my personal favourite styles and something we are quite known for, highlighting and accentuating the feminine shapes of her silhouette with contrasting transparent and opaque materials. This is also a nod to her gymnastics and athleticism, allowing her to go from doing the routine moment to the red carpet. We then draped her in a #stellamccartney blue rhinestone net layer gown.
For Ella’s androgynous look we had fun playing with the dichotomy of feminine and masculine energies that I have always loved, and I thought it was only fitting to dress her in a voluminous pair of high-waisted trousers – made athletic with drawstring details, worn over an #adidas by #stellamccartney embellished bodysuit and our Earthlight trainers reimagined for the glamour of the Met. Representing the next-gen activists I want to share my platform with, she will also be the face of our #adidas by #stellamccartney aw21 campaign which also launches very soon!
