Stella McCartney Now Available Online at SSense

Thursday, August 01, 2013

When it comes to hard-to-find high end designer labels, it always helps to have a new place to shop the line online. As of this week, Stella McCartney fans can count their lucky stars because you can now shop Stella online at SSense!

Niche retailers rarely stock a full line, so each new shopping destination inevitably adds a few new pieces to the online selection. The addition of SSense as a Stella McCartney stockist does just this, offering sizes and color options not currently available at the old standbys of Net-a-Porter and the Stella official site. I know, you’re super excited.

To celebrate the addition of Stella McCartney to the already fabulous SSense online store, I’ve picked some of my favorite items from the just released Fall 2013 collection.

The Stella McCartney label is known for luxe vegan leather accessories, so it’s fitting we start with these standout boots from the fall collection. They’re so crazy stylish and chilly weather-perfect that the fact they are cruelty free is just icing on the fashion cake.

This graphic black and white sheath dress won’t be going out of style any time soon, making the investment-level price feel a little more reasonable.

My favorite part of fall shopping is picking out a couple of funky-cool, yet super cozy, sweaters. This knit sweater with a textured mohair-blend panel at front fits just right. Click through to see the amazing knit details up close – it’s totally worth it.

Not every woman can pull of the teal blue teddy bear look. I get that. But this shaggy sweater is just too much fun to ignore. If you are tall and slim, this will pair well with skinny trousers or a pencil skirt and booties. If you’re not, please walk away from the shag.

I can’t resist adding one impractical item to the mix. This silk and velvet gown was one of the truly memorable pieces from the fall line. It’s gorgeous, and completely appropriate if you attend black-tie functions and have enough disposable income to warrant investing in a dress so stand-out that you can probably only pull off wearing it once a year within the same social group.
