McCartney's affinity for freely moving pieces that skirt the
body without suffocating it found ample expression in the show
at the opulent Opera Garnier, where father Paul McCartney was on
hand, along with Kanye West and Woody Harrelson.
Diagonals of thick ribbed knits draped the figure on
long-sleeved dresses, lightened by gauzy sheer silk peeking out
underneath. Trousers - which in McCartney's world usually hang
low in the crotch - were high-waisted and cinched, but roomy in
the thighs and leg for a fluid, sensual feel.
Her standout faux furs featured along with wool coats in lodens
and greys, and even black and white tweed, that were slim to the
body but tied at the waist.
A wool trouser suit recalled a classic grey sweatsuit in both
color and comfort, but McCartney's version in light wool was
pure luxury, with folds of fabric at the waist and cut-outs at
the short sleeves giving movement and fluidity.
But it was McCartney's faux fur coats in both black and ivory -
reined in by geometric stitched patches at the sides and sleeves
- that caught the eye.
"If the fashion industry just for one season gave up fur and did
fake fur as its replacement, it would have a massive impact,"
said McCartney backstage. "Over 50 million animals are being
killed a year for fashion, and I don't agree with it."
The designer said even the most discerning would not be able to
tell the difference when looking at real versus fake.
"In fact, I think mine would look better," she said.
