It was a damp evening at the Stella McCartney Resort 2014 presentation, perfectly situated at Jefferson Market Garden, the atmosphere was comprised of benches, wicker baskets (used as additional seating) and tartan covered wooden tables, topped off with chic picnic baskets. As the party began, attendees arrived wearing classic McCartney ensembles. Honey-filled bottles were handed out as parting favors to guests, as they sipped Veuve Clicquot underneath a lucite-like tent, where a vintage hot pink Morris Minor was parked.

The earth conscious designer was encircled by her closest friends and admirers; Cameron Diaz wore a white tailored dress, while singer Madonna and actresses Liv Tyler and Julianne Moore opted for darker ensembles. Also spotted at the event were Kate Bosworth, Naomi Watts and Jessica Stam. Vogue magazine Editor-in-Chief, Anna Wintour, giggled with McCartney as they socialized with the other guests.

The collection, which did not disappoint, was shown on models that mixed with the celebrity-studded crowd. They sported mixed prints, patterns of hearts, lips and matchsticks — some appearing as appliqué — florals, and faux python embossed print garments of a buff yellow shade. McCartney also displayed shoes and bags, including unusual pairs of red satin shoes which gave the illusion of having been used and stepped in.

Eveningwear was shown on models mounted on scaffolding above a “Stella” lit sign glowed in a beaming hot pink. The creations consisted of dark hued color-blocked dresses, garments in navy blue and hunter green, damask print hearts, and high-low ruffled dresses.

The designer wore an above-the-knee, soft pink metallic finished shift dress, insinuated by an embroidered red floral jacquard pattern and silver hued shoes, a very feminine and sweet uplift for the rainy day.
