Stella McCartney transformed Kelsun™ fiber into a beautifully hand-crocheted ecru knit featured in two garments in Stella’s Summer 2024 show. Celebrating fluidity and circularity at #ParisFashionWeek, Stella debuted the first-ever garments created from Kelsun, our seaweed-derived fiber designed to transform the #textile industry. In addition to the runway show, Marché Saxe-Breteuil in Paris was transformed into Stella’s Sustainable Market – comprising 21 stalls, inviting guests and the public to experience the pioneering innovators and materials featured in Stella’s latest collection.
