Stella McCartney and Yoshitomo Nara Launch Third Capsule Collection on November 11

Stella McCartney and Yoshitomo Nara have launched their third capsule collection, made from 100 percent responsible materials, with a global launch on November 11. Yahoo reported the collection includes ready-to-wear, knits, shoes and accessories.

Inside the Rock 'n' Roll Forest Collection

The collection is inspired by a "rock 'n' roll forest" and brings together nature, music and Nara's childlike and animal motifs. It includes four exclusive styles in "extremely limited" quantities: vegan handbags, framed crocheted faces, and hand-knitted scarves and sweaters available on a made-to-order basis and crafted at McCartney's atelier.

An Adidas by Stella McCartney x Yoshitomo Nara SPW64 reimagines the Tokyo 64 track shoe. It is made from lightweight, recycled materials printed with Nara's artwork, and its slender silhouette has a tongue inspired by the 1956 Melbourne Olympics shoe.

"I've always been such a huge fan of Nara, so to have formed a true friendship with him has been a real honor. He's such an individual artist, quite elusive, and I love that sense of silence, peace and calm you feel when you're around him. We're friends first and foremost, and that makes this third collaboration incredibly special," said McCartney.

McCartney said the collection is made from deadstock yarns and materials "because I'm obsessed with addressing waste in fashion, and using what already exists. But it's also about making something that has a life beyond a season. These limited pieces are almost collectibles, created with an incredible artist. They're things you want to keep and treasure."

The campaign stars the Japanese actor Ryo Ryusei and model Mika Schnider with playlists curated by McCartney and Nara. In Japan, a dedicated, four-week Stella McCartney x Yoshitomo Nara pop-up will open at Isetan the Space on the second floor of Isetan Shinjuku, with repurposed fixtures, materials and 3D artworks made using recyclable paper and cardboard cutouts. McCartney will be in Japan with Nara from November 9-11 to celebrate the launch with experiences at the brand's Aoyama and Hankyu Umeda stores.
