McCartney’s autumn/winter 2024 ready-to-wear collection opened with “a message from Mother Earth”.

A collection of screens next to the runway showed pictures of nature, with a voiceover read by actors Olivia Colman and Dame Helen Mirren – representing Mother Earth – asking: “Why are you harming me?”

McCartney’s vegan fashion brand eschews materials such as leather and instead uses sustainable materials like mushrooms for leather-looking pieces.

Last year she debuted biodegradable, non-toxic sequins, made without plastic.
