Stella McCartney returns to H&M with a collection inspired by her own greatest hits, a journey through 25 years of her most iconic pieces.

As someone with many of her originals in my closet, I naturally asked myself: if I were to buy something, what would it be? My answer is clear: only the absolute showstoppers. The pieces you wear to a party and that become the talking point of the evening. Because when it comes to a great coat or a quality bag, I will always invest in the real thing. But for those dazzling occasion pieces you wear a handful of times a year, an eye-catching dress, a statement look that owns the room, it simply makes more sense not to spend a fortune. And that is exactly where a collaboration like this has its place.

With that in mind, I put together three looks from the collection that I would actually consider, and yes, you will notice that in the photos I am wearing my original Stella pieces. Which, I think, says it all. The collection drops 7th of May at 10am CET.

LoL, Sandra
