Ten horses — five black, five white — entered the sand ring first
PARIS -- Ten horses — five black, five white — entered the sand ring first. The models came second.
That told you everything you needed to know about designer Stella McCartney ’s priorities at Paris Fashion Week.
The British-American designer staged her Winter 2026 show Wednesday inside a riding hall in the Bois de Boulogne, marking the Lunar New Year of the Horse with what amounted to a quiet manifesto: fashion can celebrate animals rather than consume them.
No leather. No fur. No feathers. No compromise.
The horses, guided by equestrian artist Jean-François Pignon, moved in choreographed patterns around the oval ring as models walked its perimeter.
