Stella McCartney’s reputation as a global fashion, style and design icon, has been built on foundations of progressive thinking, creativity and social consciousness.

When we were briefed by Stella and her team to create the look-book for her new collection, there was a clear focus on responsibly-sourced materials, design detailing and the highest standards of colour reproduction.

Collaborating with the design team every step of the way, we created a look-book like no other. A hand-assembled, cloth-wrapped cover with intricate gold foil elements and a revolutionary curved spine, set the creative tempo for this exceptional book. Inside, a 68-page thread sewn text, beautifully printed in full colour, placed Stella’s incredible work on the highest pedestal possible.

This is an extraordinary book for one of Britain’s leading fashion icons, epitomising our Print Perfection philosophy and capturing the essence of Stella McCartney’s creative talent and socially-minded principles.
