We all know how much sustainability is close to Stella McCartney’s heart, especially when it comes to the animal world. From 2001, the year of the brand’s inception until today, Stella committees to building and spreading not only a brand but a conscious, sustainable and ecological lifestyle.
In the fall winter 2023 collection, animals are the protagonists. Inside the Manège de L’École Militaire, garments paraded amidst horses running free. But the choice of the horse is not random at all… In fact, the real focus is the healing power of these animals. Hippo-therapy is a form of pet therapy that connects humans and horses, helping them not only physically but also psychologically. The designer told how this form of therapy has helped her heal and how her mental state has markedly improved during her lifetime.
To celebrate the healing power of horses, a limited edition of the Falabella bag was created with a ribbon bearing the words of poet Cleo Wade:
“The ride is long but leads you home.”
