Stella McCartney is already well-known in the fashion world for her beautiful clothing that is both wearable (I could actually imagine myself in some of her clothes) and trendy at the same time. Now, she's heading into new fashion territory - accessories, and yes, that means jewelry. Yeah!

According to WWD: "Color, too, plays a big role in the new collection. There are deep clarets, cornflower and peacock blues, sea foam greens, and leopard prints.

In addition, there are 13 styles of belts, made from materials including chains, elastic, studs and velvet. There are three styles of jewelry made from precious metals including sterling silver, onyx, crystal and brass.

"The jewelry just evolved. We were playing with the details on the bags, and thinking, 'Wow, that would make a great bracelet or necklace.' I love doing jewelry, and I think these pieces really complement the collection," she said."




Yet another reason to love the work of this talented designer is her love of animals. All her accessories are animal friendly:

"Nylon, vinyl and techno canvas aren't words that set the average luxury customer's heart aflutter, but thanks to Stella McCartney, that may be about to change. The designer, famous for her love of animals and loathing of leather, has unveiled her first major accessories collection, a mix of man-made and natural fabrics with details such as heavy stitching, chunky chains, punk studs, and jet beading."




After seeing way too much fur (and by the way, any fur is too much!) during fashion week, McCartney's approach is very encouraging.
