WHAT LIES BENEATH

Stella McCartney shows us her underwear!

Stella McCartney’s been a busy lady. For spring, the British designer and mother of two split her time between collaborating with LeSportsac on rucksacks and “mum totes,” and creating her first lingerie line. The latter translates McCartney’s signature palette of creamy colors and fabrics like organic cotton and silk chiffon to 13 quintessentially broderie anglaise sets with cheeky names: Poppy Posing pairs a black underwire bra with ruched chiffon straps and diamante detailing with boy shorts, Coco Blushing features a silk georgette triangle-shaped bra and thong with a tiny star print, and Eve Giggling is a 1940s vintage-inspired range of bras, bodysuits, and briefs with mesh and silk patches stitched on. Whether your style of underthing is more Daisy Dreaming or Sandy Stripping, McCartney’s got you, er, covered. SAMANTHA GILEWICZ
