Tan hemp burlap and white cork
Gift of Stella McCartney
Object number2010.46.1
The sleek, origami style folds of Stella McCartney’s shift dress eliminate the need for extra pattern pieces, adding visual interest without wasting fabric, and the warm, earth-toned hemp was colored using low-impact dye. While McCartney has always advocated cruelty-free materials, she now consistently integrates additional elements of sustainable design into her work.
