Stella McCartney’s Lower-Price, Eco-Friendly Lingerie Line

[Ethical Fashion Forum]

Stella McCartney’s new lusty line of lingerie is sugar and spice and everything nice… especially to the environment.

 

 It's no secret that the right lingerie can spice up the bedroom, or make you feel more sexy and confident all day long. (Making it perfect for Valentine's Day gifting.) Luckily, there are hot new options to make sure the clothes closest to your skin are as natural, pure and toxin-free as possible. After all, the textile industry is one of the world's most polluting, and contributing to toxic runoff and poisoned ecosystems is decidedly unsexy.

Meet “Stella,” British designer Stella McCartney’s new, lower-price range of saucy underpinnings designed for a “nearly nude wearing experience.” Comprising French Calais lace and silk, together with organic-cotton gussets and recycled metal hardware, the eco-friendly collection offers five different bra shapes (molded underwire, low plunge, strapless, and a seamless, underwire-free style) in a variety of smooth, mesh, and lace fabrics.

McCartney focused first and foremost on fit. The bra cups come with 8-millimeter-thick foam—as opposed to the industry standard of 12mm—making them 25 percent lighter than the average bra. But although the intimates are meant for practical, everyday wear, they’re far from matronly. If nude and black are too quotidian for your taste, other options sizzle in python and electric blue. Another plus? Unlike McCartney’s pricier selections, nothing costs more than $65.

 

Stella will be rolling out this month at Stella McCartney, Bergdorf Goodman, Nordstrom, and Barneys New York boutiques nationwide, as well as online at Net-a-Porter.
