Stella McCartney’s collaboration with 886 by The Royal Mint
Inspired by novelist and avid birdwatcher Jonathan Franzen’s collection of writings on climate change, “The End of the End of the Earth,” Stella McCartney worked with British jewelry company 886 by The Royal Mint to create a flock of golden doves as accessories for her SS 2025 show.
Crafted from recycled materials, the sustainably made items were a “call to action” for the preservation of our avian wildlife, fluttering on necklaces around models’ necks or chests.
