The British designer Stella McCartney paid tribute to Alexander McQueen, in her very pared down fashion collection for autumn/winter 2010-11. With sharp tailoring, luxurious cashmere knits and matching trousers comprised no-nonsense daywear that was followed by subtly sequinned and lace evening wear that made up a beautifully managed collection.

She started it with warm camel and black horizontal stripes on a jacket and then a Sixties style tunic.

Graphic, linear minidresses were offset by nicely fitted trousers.

Bright orange ribbed knits or teeny weeny polo neck dresses added a flash of colour, a new concentration on technique put these pieces in a different realm to the rest.

Stella always has her eye on comfort as an inherent factor of style and her collection simply reflects her: sexy without shouting about it to get you noticed without noticing.
