By Marie-Louise Gumuchian and Jane Witherspoon LONDON (Reuters) – Fashion designer Stella McCartney drew inspiration from her Beatle father Paul when creating her first menswear collection, unveiling both relaxed and tailored looks for the male wardrobe. “It just felt like the right time, it felt like the womenswear was really in the perfect place to then have her man in her life and just to offer that wardrobe to men,” McCartney told Reuters. Asked if her famous father would wear the new line, McCartney said: “Yeah definitely, there’s a lot of inspiration obviously in him in the collection, so … he better be wearing it.” For outerwear, there was a mix of big-pocketed jackets, trenchcoats, raincoats and bomber jackets.
