Sucks To Be The Stylist That Did This Shoot

Being a wardrobe stylist myself, I have to admit that I’ve had a few nightmares of showing up for a shoot and having some diva celebrity or a high maintenance producer not liking anything I’ve brought, even though there’s like 3 rolling racks of clothes to choose from. I’m knocking on sustainable, harvested wood as I type this. I’ve yet to have a nightmare of pissing a designer off though, up until now.

Stella McCartney was furious when she found out that lingerie from her line was loaned out to a stylist and used in an advert for a fur company. The ad features a model sporting a SM bra and draped in a $12,000.00 mink coat. It is well known, especially in the fashion world, that Stella is an animal/Peta activist, as well as being strongly against using fur or leather in her clothing line.

Hockley, a London boutique renowned for stocking the world’s best nastiest fur designers, has apologised for the mistake. A spokesman for the company said: ‘Hockley is aware of Stella McCartney’s views and is respectful of them. This was an unfortunate mistake and Hockley would not intentionally make anyone feel uncomfortable.

‘Hockley both requested and was told that the item was a vintage piece and apologizes for any embarrassment caused to Stella McCartney. It is not Hockley’s intention to use the image again.’

A little late now since it’s already in print in the current Vogue. Would you pay $12,000.00 to support this cruel and horrific industry? Let’s all say a lil’ prayer for the stylist before we go to bed tonight.
