Stella McCartney Introduces Second ‘Future of Fashion’ Installation
Who: Stella McCartney
What: “Future of Fashion: An Innovation Conversation with Stella McCartney,” in partnership with Bank of America
Why: Stella McCartney is a fierce advocate of sustainability, which just so happens to be one of the main themes of this year’s Salone. In partnership with Bank of America, which has committed over a trillion (yes, you read that right) dollars to financing a low-carbon planet, McCartney brings her vision of a fashionable yet innovative future to Milan—and it revolves around the humble mushroom. Her Frame Mylo bag, composed of mycelium (the root system of fungi, for the uninitiated), is on view amongst many other sustainably made wares, demonstrating that high fashion doesn’t have to come at the planet’s expense. Also displayed is a reimagining of the Le Bombole chair by B&B Italia, made with conscious materials and rendered in McCartney’s spring 2022 hand-drawn Fungi Forest burgundy print. This funky pattern was also realized on sustainable wallpaper, created in partnership with British wallpaper manufacturer Cole & Sons. The exhibition is rounded out with larger-than-life mushroom sculptures, a mushroom Infinity Room, and a screening room featuring Louie Schwartzberg’s groundbreaking documentary, Fantastic Fungi (2019), which explains why mycelium is the future of our sustainable planet.
