A couple of years ago, Stella McCartney collaborated with the people behind the Mr Men and Little Miss series to design a new character. The result was the dead adorable Little Miss Stella (inspired by McCartney, naturally), who appeared on the invitations - a proper Little Miss book - to her spring/summer 2007 catwalk show. In terms of literary greatness, perhaps the story - Little Miss Stella meets Little Miss Nobody, otherwise known as Billy No Mates because she's wearing last season's shoes or something, designs an amazing suit for her and turns her into a somebody - doesn't quite rival War and Peace 's, but, then again, War and Peace doesn't have a character whose skin tone is a fetching shade of blue. You win some, you lose some.
Anyway, Little Miss Stella is the inspiration for McCartney's new seven-piece Kids' capsule collection, and appears on everything from babygros, jumpers and T-shirts, to bags and felt-tips. The line, starting from £27 for a T-shirt, will be launching at the end of next month in time for school. Should you fancy getting hold of that hag-to-fab fable (only 1,000 were originally printed for the show), Stella stores will be giving away an extended version with each purchase for a limited time, where, presumably, Little Miss Somebody (née Nobody) completes her transition to full-time fashionista by dropping 10lbs.
Little Miss Stella will be available from the end of August at Stella McCartney stores on Bruton Street W1 and Fulham Road SW3, in Liberty and Cricket, and online at stellamaccartney.com and alexandalexa.com
