There are dates that wake up the fashion calendar. Thursday, May 7, 2026 is one of them: the Stella McCartney x H&M collection lands in Paris, in a selection of stores and online.
Where to find the collection in Île-de-France? Westfield Forum des Halles, Val d'Europe, Paris Lafayette, Beaugrenelle, Westfield Les 4 Temps, Paris Le Marais
Following Glenn Martens's experimental turn last October, the Swedish fast-fashion giant reveals a new, large-scale collaboration. Almost twenty years after a first alliance that became iconic, this capsule also marks Stella McCartney’s 25th anniversary house. The aim isn’t to dust off the archives, but to bring them back to life.
The wardrobe finds its balance between rigor, fluidity and attitude. Oversize shirts, lightweight trenches, structured tailoring… the cuts are sharp, but never stiff. Logo tops and iconic prints return with a more current interpretation, while ribbed knit dresses and tops feature a signature detail: the Falabella chain at the neckline. The asymmetric white dress, with its cape sleeve integrated into the hem, promises to turn heads as well. Surrounding it, cherry-print mesh from the archives, denim, mismatched sets, and sparkling evening silhouettes shape a very crafted collection. The cropped "Rock Royalty" t-shirt, laced and studded, adds the necessary edge.

On the accessories front, the collection offers six bags, from an oversized tote to the chocolate-brown chain-link model, plus a mini logo-embellished shoulder bag. The jewelry and loafers also echo the Falabella motif in recycled metal.
The fabric stays true to Stella McCartney's DNA: organic cotton, RWS-certified wool, recycled materials, and alternatives derived from industrial corn and recycled plant oils.
So, who’s going to be there?
