Stella McCartney, Yoshitomo Nara Create a ‘Rock ’n’ roll Forest’ Collection, an Ode to Nature

The designer and the artist have created a collection that “advocates for nature” and is made from 100 percent responsible materials.

BIG IN JAPAN: Stella McCartney and the Japanese artist Yoshitomo Nara have renewed their creative vows and teamed on a capsule collection that “advocates for nature” and is made from 100 percent responsible materials.

Their third collection, which includes ready-to-wear, knits, shoes and accessories, is inspired by a “rock ’n’ roll forest,” and brings together nature, music and Nara’s childlike and animal motifs.

There are also four exclusive styles in “extremely limited” quantities, including vegan handbags, framed crocheted faces and hand-knitted scarves and sweaters available on a made-to-order basis and crafted at McCartney’s atelier.

An Adidas by Stella McCartney x Yoshitomo Nara SPW64 reimagines the Tokyo 64 track shoe. It is made from lightweight, recycled materials printed with Nara’s artwork. Its slender silhouette has a tongue inspired by the 1956 Melbourne Olympics shoe.

“I’ve always been such a huge fan of Nara, so to have formed a true friendship with him has been a real honor. He’s such an individual artist, quite elusive, and I love that sense of silence, peace and calm you feel when you’re around him. We’re friends first and foremost, and that makes this third collaboration incredibly special,” said McCartney.

The collection is made from deadstock yarns and materials “because I’m obsessed with addressing waste in fashion, and using what already exists. But it’s also about making something that has a life beyond a season.
