Stella McCartney and Yoshitomo Nara Are Back for a Third Collaboration
Featuring rock’n'roll-inspired wearable art.
Stella McCartney and Japanese artist Yoshitomo Nara are joining forces once again, unveiling their third limited-edition collaboration rooted in art, nature and a shared rebellious spirit. Dubbed a “rock’n'roll forest,” the collection brings Nara’s instantly recognizable, childlike characters and animal motifs to a wardrobe of clothing, handbags, shoes and accessories, all made using 100% responsible materials.
Expect artisan knitwear crafted from responsibly sourced wool, organic cotton jersey separates and handcrafted vegan bags, alongside graphic trainers printed with Nara’s artwork. The collaboration also introduces four exclusive styles in extremely limited quantities, including framed, hand-crocheted faces and knitted scarves and jumpers, each made by Stella McCartney’s atelier. Some pieces even required more than 60 hours of craftsmanship to complete.
The partnership continues the pair’s longstanding creative dialogue, using fashion as a platform to champion individuality, humanity and the natural world. It also extends beyond the clothes, with a campaign starring Japanese actor Ryo Ryusei and model Mika Schnider, alongside a series of immersive pop-ups and collectible stickers in Japan.
The full collection launches globally on November 11, via Stella McCartney’s website.
