A First Look at Stella McCartney's Upcoming Collection with H&M

Twenty years after their first collaboration, H&M and Stella McCartney are teaming up once again for a new collection that revisits the designer’s most recognizable signatures.

Set to launch on May 7, the collab will be stocked exclsuively at H&M Greenbelt in Makati, and online through hm.com.

The upcoming Stella McCartney x H&M collection marks two decades since their original partnership in November 2005—H&M’s second-ever designer collaboration at the time. This latest release looks back on the English designer’s 25-year history, bringing together past favorites and present-day staples in a lineup that reflects Stella’s distinct point of view.

At the heart of the collection are familiar silhouettes that fans of the designer will instantly recognize: oversized button-downs, dramatic trench coats, and sleek tailoring— alongside pieces reminiscent of her earlier work, like embellished prints and slogan tops.

“I see this collection as a journey through my fashion history. It is a true mix of current classics and some of my old favourites that showcase my first forays into fashion and the development of my signatures. It's playful, strong, sparkling, joyful, refined,” Stella shares.

The collection also introduces statement pieces that balance polish with personality. Rib-knit dresses and tops are finished with Stella’s signature Falabella chain at the neckline, while a sweeping white gown with cape-like sleeves offers a dramatic, sculptural silhouette. Elsewhere, there are sparkling party separates, denim pieces, and mesh dresses printed with a bold archival cherry motif.

Accessories play a major role in the collection as well, with six bag styles ranging from compact shoulder bags to oversized totes. A standout is a chocolate-toned handbag finished with a chain strap—one of several accessories featuring the iconic Falabella chain. The same detail appears on necklaces, earrings made from recycled mixed metals, and loafers accented with chain hardware.

The collection also continues Stella McCartney’s longstanding focus on responsible design. It uses a range of lower-impact materials, including recycled fibers, organic cotton, wool certified to the RWS standard, and coated materials made from industrial corn and recycled vegetable oil.

By using certified, organic, and recycled materials at scale, the collection aims to reduce waste and lessen the environmental impact associated with conventional fabric production.
