Presenting Stella McCartney H&M Collection 2026 | H&M

British designer Stella McCartney returns to H&M with a new collection of contemporary womenswear, illustrating that creativity and desirability can thrive while embracing recycled and certified materials as alternatives to conventional fibers.

As the second designer ever to take part in an H&M collaboration, Stella McCartney returns after 21 years with a new Stella McCartney H&M collection. The collection brings together timeless wardrobe staples, relaxed tailoring and Stella’s unapologetic take on modern femininity. Grounded in her work as both a designer and as a voice for change within the fashion industry, the collection is crafted using selected materials, including materials with recycled content and materials made from alternative feedstocks such as industrial corn.

Since launching her namesake label in 2001, Stella McCartney has championed alternatives to animal leather and fur. For the latest H&M collaboration, she introduces a cropped bomber jacket with a snakeskin-effect texture. The coated material of this standout piece is partly made from recycled vegetable oil and agricultural crops, such as straw. Another outerwear highlight is the long trench coat: clean, classic and unmistakably British. The shell fabric for this staple is made from ROC™ (Regenerative Organic Certified) cotton. Farms certified by ROC™ must implement plans to improve soil and land quality, animal welfare, and farmworker fairness.

Tailoring is central to Stella McCartney's design language, refined during her time on Savile Row, and it shows in pieces like the double-breasted blazer with matching baggy pants. Designed for seamless day-to-night dressing, the wool blazer and tailored pants are made with wool certified to the RWS Standard. Products certified to the Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) contain wool fiber from farms certified to animal welfare and land management requirements.

As a red-carpet mainstay, Stella McCartney knows how to design occasionwear with an edge, and the H&M collaboration is no exception. Opulent pieces include the embellished bodysuit, mini dress and bra top, each adorned with glass beads made from 80% recycled glass. The knitted dress in organic cotton is another embellished dress featuring a prominent chain-trimmed neckline. The style is also available as a tank top, and the chain for both styles is made from recycled metal.

Draping plays a key role throughout, seen across tops and dresses alike. One of the highlights is a red chiffon mini dress, a one-shoulder dress made from a recycled material from garment collecting and leftovers/scraps from textile production.

Accessories complete the story. The snakeskin pattern seen across the collection appears on ballet flats and handbags, while the two-tone chunky chain necklace with matching bracelet and statement earrings are all made from recycled metal. There are also tote bags in organic cotton featuring the Stella McCartney logo, which can be embellished with keyring charms from the collection. The printed scarves in silk and cotton/silk offer another glimpse of Stella's British heritage and her enduring fascination with horses. Both scarves are certified by the Global Organic Textile Standard, a textile processing standard that sets requirements for its certified textile value chain. GOTS requirements cover social and environmental aspects, including, e.g., workers' rights and the use of organic fibers produced without synthetic pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, and other harmful chemicals.

For more laid-back styling, the collection also includes oversized T-shirts, hoodies, oversized shirts, and relaxed-fit pants. All made in GOTS-certified cotton. The easy silhouettes and considered materials find the perfect balance between effortless and chic.

The Stella McCartney H&M collection blends iconic design and innovative ideas through a creative collaboration. The collection is available in select stores and on hm.com May 7.
