Overview

  • At the Centre Pompidou, Helen Mirren opened the show by reading the lyrics to the Beatles’ Come Together.
  • McCartney said the theme served as a peace message connected to the war in Gaza.
  • The collection introduced Fevvers, a plant-based alternative to feathers, alongside PURE.TECH fabric designed to absorb air pollutants.
  • She described the lineup as 98% sustainable and 100% cruelty-free, using no leather, fur, feathers or exotic skins.
  • In January she moved to repurchase LVMH’s minority stake in her label while continuing to advise the group on sustainability.
