It is made from lightweight, recycled materials printed with Nara\u2019s artwork. Its slender silhouette has a tongue inspired by the 1956 Melbourne Olympics shoe.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-content-image \/\/  \">\n<figure class=\"o-figure   aligncenter size-large aligncenter lrv-u-max-width-100p\" style=\"width:100%; max-width:576px;\">\n<div class=\"c-lazy-image  \">\n<div class=\"lrv-a-crop-16x9\" style=\"padding-bottom:calc((1024\/576)*100%);\">\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/wwd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Stella-McCartney-Nara.jpg?w=169\" alt=\"Stella McCartney and Yoshitomo Nara collaboration sweater \" srcset=\"https:\/\/wwd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Stella-McCartney-Nara.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/wwd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Stella-McCartney-Nara.jpg?resize=84,150 84w, https:\/\/wwd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Stella-McCartney-Nara.jpg?resize=169,300 169w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(min-width: 87.5rem) 1000px, (min-width: 78.75rem) 681px, (min-width: 48rem) 450px, (max-width: 48rem) 250px\" height=\"1024\" width=\"576\" decoding=\"async\"\/><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div><figcaption class=\"c-figcaption  a-font-secondary-regular-m lrv-u-margin-t-050\">\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"\">A look from the collaboration between Stella McCartney and Yoshitomo Nara.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cI\u2019ve always been such a huge fan of Nara, so to have formed a true friendship with him has been a real honor. He\u2019s such an individual artist, quite elusive, and I love that sense of silence, peace and calm you feel when you\u2019re around him. We\u2019re friends first and foremost, and that makes this third collaboration incredibly special,\u201d said McCartney.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe collection is made from deadstock yarns and materials \u201cbecause I\u2019m obsessed with addressing waste in fashion, and using what already exists. But it\u2019s also about making something that has a life beyond a season. These limited pieces are almost collectibles, created with an incredible artist. They\u2019re things you want to keep and treasure,\u201d McCartney added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe campaign stars the Japanese actor Ryo Ryusei and model Mika Schnider with playlists curated by McCartney and Nara.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tIn Japan, there will be a dedicated, four-week Stella McCartney x Yoshitomo Nara pop-up at Isetan the Space on the second floor of Isetan Shinjuku. The space will include repurposed fixtures, materials and 3D artworks made using recyclable paper and cardboard cutouts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tMcCartney will be in Japan with Nara from Nov. 9-11 to celebrate the launch with experiences taking place at the brand\u2019s Aoyama and Hankyu Umeda stores. The limited-edition collection will launch globally on Nov. 11 on the brand\u2019s website and at selected Stella McCartney boutiques and retailers worldwide.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BIG IN JAPAN: Stella McCartney and the Japanese artist Yoshitomo Nara have renewed their creative vows and teamed on a capsule collection that \u201cadvocates for nature\u201d and is made from 100 percent&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":202,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-201","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-latest-stories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wom.beauty\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/201","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wom.beauty\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wom.beauty\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wom.beauty\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wom.beauty\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=201"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wom.beauty\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/201\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wom.beauty\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/202"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wom.beauty\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=201"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wom.beauty\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=201"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wom.beauty\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=201"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
