Discover novel ideas for not only filling the time, but making the most of it.

Photographer Daisy Walker on nudes and nature

London-based photographer, director and founder of Women in Fashion (WIF) Daisy Walker brings the female gaze into focus – reclaiming and creating space in our culture long dominated by male perspectives. She captured a series of self-portraits during lockdown, nude save for a select edit of Stella McCartney vegan leather bags and shoes. Her work frames bodies and objects through an intimate lens, often broaching discussions around feminism and the environment; art meets activism.

Stella x William Eggleston chat

Lockdown has been a time to reflect and reconnect with friends. For Stella, that has meant catching up with her dear friend and creative muse William Eggleston – a living legend who revolutionised the traditional photography world with his use of colour-full shots of the American South in the 20th Century. Whilst wearing Stella McCartney menswear pieces, he spoke with her about his favourite pictures, their mutual friendship with David Lynch and who his top fashion designer is.

Having previously photographed and painted Stella, American animal rights activist and artist Marilyn Minter invited us on a rare video tour of her New York City studio during lockdown.

Helena Christensen finds inspiration in isolation

Supermodel Helena Christensen is isolating at home in the American countryside with her self-described “quarantine gang”, including her son Lucien Reedus, her creative partner Camilla Staerk and friend Elizabeth Acevedo. A mixture of biological and chosen family, they turned our collective moment of pause into a creative project for Stellavision – styling and photographing each other in Stella McCartney Summer 2020 ready-to-wear and menswear pieces, inspiring their time in lockdown and in nature.

Anna Pollack explores chosen family

Brooklyn-based director Anna Pollack explores the notion of chosen family for Stellavision, capturing friends as they find inspiration in isolation by pursuing their individual passions and relationships with nature – all while comfortably and confidently wearing Stella McCartney Spring Summer 2020 lingerie in their new everyday realities. She directed and shot the series entirely during lockdown, reflecting the novel ways we are currently adapting to create content.

Earth Day 2020

We celebrated Earth Day’s 50th anniversary at a time when our planet faces an unprecedented challenge. While the current situation is heartbreaking, there is also hope – silver linings like more community spirit and compassion to not only fight the pandemic, but to save Mother Earth. This involves a commitment today to protect a better tomorrow, a vision magnified through our Piccadilly Circus screen takeover and messaging: “For us, every day is Earth Day.”

Vogue Global Conversations

Stella was interviewed by Vogue España’s Eugenia de la Torriente as part of the Vogue Global Conversations series. She shared about not only the future of creativity and sustainability, but our path as a species – discussing how the situation our world is facing has connected us all, giving us a much-needed moment to reflect and be hopeful. She reflects how we have collectively been given a second chance to heal Mother Earth and be kinder to the creatures we share her with – though it might be our last.

David Lynch on transcendental meditation

David Lynch shared about his decades-long transcendental meditation practice, his key to unlocking true inner happiness. Mental and emotional peace is an invaluable resource now more than ever.
