Gwyneth Paltrow's has teamed up with British fashion designer Stella McCartney for their first collaboration, available exclusively on Gwyneth's lifestyle website 'Goop'. The Stella McCartney X Goop collection launched on September 12. This collaboration is the latest in a series of fashion partnerships Paltrow has struck up for her site, previous designers include, Rag & Bone,Cynthia Rowley and Alexandra Von Furstenberg.
The collection contains only 6 items making it more of a capsule collection.Stella McCartney has explained that they wanted to create investment pieces. The outcome is designs that are timeless and classic, the pieces are effortless and Stella believes they reflect Gwyneth's style, it's a big reflection on her and they decided they would create a small timeless collection that you'd want to leave to your daughter.
To celebrate the collection the pair thew an English Garden Party in the Hamptons, as you do. Complete with lawn games, a jazz band, british food and drink such as guinness, and mini fish and chips and sticky toffee pudding as well as a guest list including, Paul McCartney, Cameron Diaz,Cynthia Rowley,Rachel Zoe and Sarah Jessica Parker.
The collection definitely is understated and classic. Two of the six pieces are bags, one a clutch and one beautiful shoulder bag, there's also a tailored black wool blazer, a charcoal jumpsuit, black staple jeans with zip detail,and a pair flattering,loose fit black wool trousers. The collection is timeless with modern twists, the shoulder bag unfolds "like origami" into a sleek clutch, and the jeans are not denim but a deep blue velvet, that you don't notice at first glance, a perfect twist on the black jean. I would quite like the Beckett shoulder bag but at $1,230.00 it's not really in my price range.. one for the wish list!
