It’s not every day that you can get a quality pic of Stella McCartney, dressed to the nines and frozen like a deer in the headlights right outside a seedy London sex shop. Stella was on her way to pal Fran Cutler’s 50th birthday party at The Box in London, carrying a party-ready Stella McCartney Ava Metal Frame Faux Python Box Clutch (of course). This clutch is no longer available, but you can shop an extensive selection of Stella McCartney bags, clothing, shoes, and accessories at Net-a-Porter.
Who is Fran Cutler, you ask? She was/is the social organizer to the British stars – an integral piece of the London party scene in the 1990s and a close pal/wrangler of Kate Moss. For more fascinating deets about Fran, and a really great party shot of Kate, Stella, and Fran looking more than a little tipsy and decked out in 80s-themed attire, check out this piece from the London Evening Standard.
You know, I make my living as a photographer, but when I see intrusive, over-flashed images like this one, it makes me angry. Sometimes people, even famous ones, deserve to be left in peace.
