Stellllaaaaa! (sorry.)

Who else is going to send black trousers and a black sweater down the runway and make it look revolutionary? (see below)

We’ve seen a lot of polished and simple this season, and I could not be more excited about it, really. But it seems like while everyone else is trying to ‘reinvent’ it, Stella McCartney defined it. And who better? Simple faces on the models, hair pulled back - sound familiar?

So let’s give thanks for Stella, for showing that you don’t need to reinvent simple elegance - especially when it’s so hard to master in the first place.

One thing, though. This dress, and the many that looked just like it:

Hard not to love - and why? The proportions. Itty-bitty little dress and Joan Smalls’ mind-bogglingly long legs. I think it’s beautiful, but c’mon - could it possibly look that good on ANYONE else?

Leg envy aside, I’m sold. Bad Streetcar pun and all.
