Stella McCartney has long been at the forefront of sustainable luxury, redefining modern fashion with a conscious ethos. Her Fall/Winter 2025 collection, Laptop to Lapdance, is no different. Blending power dressing with sensuality, the collection seamlessly transitions from office wear to evening glamour—all while championing cruelty-free and environmentally responsible materials. Here is everything to know about the Stella McCartney FW25 collection.
The Inspiration
Stella McCartney’s Fall/Winter 2025 collection, aptly titled Laptop to Lapdance, is a daring celebration of the working woman. Seamlessly blending masculine and feminine archetypes, this collection takes her from the boardroom to the dancefloor. It is a tribute to the multifaceted, modern woman—an entrepreneur, a boss, a sister, a lover—who fearlessly embraces every aspect of her life. With a strong emphasis on ethical fashion, McCartney reminds us that sensuality, kindness, and vulnerability are powerful forms of strength and beauty.
The Setting
The runway transported guests into the world of STELLA CORP, a fictional material innovation company at the forefront of sustainable luxury. Models weaved between sleek office desks, reinforcing the collection’s theme of professional-meets-party dressing.
The Collection
For the Stella McCartney FW25 collection, power dressing is redefined. With structured shoulders, knits, draped dresses, and tops created with a modern 80s aesthetic. Tailored jackets nip in at the waist, paired with straight trousers and pencil skirts.Lipstick reds add a striking contrast to an earthy palette of khaki, corporate greys, and metallic embellishments.
McCartney’s design DNA is woven throughout—lace elements pay homage to her Central Saint Martin’s graduation show, while expertly tailored suiting echoes her Savile Row training. Outerwear pieces highlight sculptural 3D loop-knit textures, and menswear-inspired staples are given a modern, feminine twist.
As for accessories, the new Ryder bag, designed to fit a laptop, is an essential for the contemporary professional, while the ever-iconic Falabella tote is reimagined in puffy patent, crushed velvets, and hand-embroidered metals.
On the footwear front, a new square-toed collection juxtaposes masculine loafers with sensual heels, crafted in cruelty-free alternatives to traditional leather. The Stella McCartney x adidas Rasant unisex trainer returns in fresh, vibrant colourways, cementing the collection’s commitment to sustainable fashion.
The Best Looks
Among the standout pieces is the strapless, moulded mini-dress adorned with world-first Sequinova plant-based sequins, shimmering with sculptural arches and recycled glass bead embellishments.
Meanwhile, chaps, dripping in chains reminiscent of the iconic Falabella bag, add an edge to the collection.
The Sustainability
Staying true to the brand’s ethos, the collection is crafted with sustainability in mind. Stella McCartney continues to pioneer alternatives to traditional materials, introducing innovative textiles such as plant-based Sequinova sequins, animal-free snakeskin, and organic cotton chaps.
Outerwear and tailoring utilize forest-friendly viscose, while plush teddy coats offer a cruelty-free take on classic winter wear. The collection also spotlights lead-free crystal and metal embroideries, proving that glamour and sustainability can go hand in hand. By eliminating traditional leather and exotic skins, McCartney reinforces her commitment to a cruelty-free future without compromising on design, craftsmanship, or desirability.
