Stella McCartney : Where cruelty-free becomes couture

A designer who refuses to compromise. Stella McCartney introduces FEVVERS, a first-ever plant-based feather alternative that skips the birds and keeps the glamour. At her Spring/Summer 2026 show in Paris, the final looks redeemed feathers — with drama, texture and ethics intertwined. 

It glimmers like fantasy, soft blades, natural dyes, layered in motion, yet the message is sharp: “No plucking. No cruelty. Just art.” The collection felt like a statement, not just a runway show. 

The show closed on a note of serenity: an orchestra of motion, color, and conscience. McCartney didn’t just design a collection; she redefined what “luxury” looks like in a world that finally wants to do better.

Because in 2025, feathers take flight without the sacrifice.
