Taylor Swift hasteamed up with Stella McCartney to release a line of ready-to-wear andaccessories. The 29-year-old pop starhas joined forces with the British fashion designer - the daughter of formerBeatle Sir Paul McCartney - to create a collection of pieces to mark the debutof her new album 'Lover' after they met and hit it off at one of her concertsin London. Speaking in the September issue of Vogue magazine, Taylor said:"When I started spending more time in London, Stella and I would go onwalks, have cocktails, and talk about life. "So when it came time to write this album, I name checked her inone of my songs, and when I played her the album, I said, 'Should we dosomething?' "
And for47-year-old Stella - who designed the Duchess of Sussex's second wedding dressfor her reception - it was a no brainer as she loves how well she and Taylor"complement each other." She explained: "I couldn't believe thatmy name is in a Taylor Swift song (what?!?) and after Taylor played me theentire album it gave me such incredible inspiration for the collaboration andit really revolved around the music. When Taylor asked me, or even thought tocome and do this with me, what I love is how we really complement each other inwhat we generate creatively together."
The collaborativecollection will be revealed to the public on August 22 during Taylor's YouTubeLive and fans can expect to see jackets, tops, and bags - inspired by her style- in the range. The line will alsofollow Stella's standards of sustainability meaning there will be no fur orleather. Stella explained: "AtStella McCartney we are so serious in how we manufacture and how responsible weare. We are always looking at sustainability and not killing animals, it meanswe have such a serious undertone in the everyday runnings morally of how weconduct ourselves as a brand. "So Ialways have to counter that with having a lightness of heart and have a senseof humor and not make people feel terrible."-Bang Showbiz
