Stella shows feminine power suits in office set at Paris Fashion Week

Stella McCartney's star-studded fall show was a bold statement on power, sensuality, and self-possession. Set inside the "Stella Corp" offices in northern Paris, the runway blurred the lines between boardroom and nightlife, business and pleasure.

The Paris collection, provocatively titled "Laptop to Lapdance," explored the modern working woman's ability to shift seamlessly between roles, embracing both structure and seduction. It was a natural evolution of 1980s power dressing, when broad-shouldered tailoring became the armor of ambition.

Cameron Diaz, Jeff Koons, Olivia Colman, Kate Moss, Richard E. Grant, and French First Lady Brigitte Macron gathered around desks and buzzing PCs, sipping from water fountains. Possibly the starriest front row of the season, the guest list embodied the high-wattage allure of Paris Fashion Week.
