Stella McCartney Goes Down the Rabbit Hole With Alice in Wonderland Collection
Stella McCartney designs for Disney
By Emma Sells | Posted: Wed 13 Jan 2010
We have a feeling that Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland is set to be the most talked about topic around over the coming months. Not only does the trailer look incredible, an impressive array of fashion and beauty's biggest names are designing pieces to accompany the film
The latest to be announced? Stella McCartney, who has apparently teamed up with Disney to design a collection of Alice-themed jewellery - think rabbits, Mad Hatter's hats and hearts and spades. The Brit designer has created a limited edition necklace and bracelet, both of which will hit her stores at the end of this month.
Stella follows in the footsteps of jewellery designer Tom Binns, who has also designed a selection of pieces adorned with teacups and hearts for Disney.
And even the beauty brands are getting in on the act - O.P.I.are offering up four new colours called 'Off With Her Red', Thanks So Muchness!', 'Absolutely Alice' and 'Mad As a Hatter, while Urban Decay has produced a limited edition version of it's Book of Shadows eye palette that features a pop-up scene from the Alice in Wonderland book.

Linda Mccartney was nobody's pushover!
Poor Linda Eastman McCartney. She had won the heart of Paul, the world’s most eligible bachelor, but married life was turning out to less than idyllic. Way less, in fact.
She was stuck in a rural farmhouse in Scotland, tasked with the care and feeding of a newborn and a seven-year-old daughter from her first marriage. Her husband was a depressed, drunk layabout who seldom got out of bed until the afternoon. Paul had stopped shaving, and his personal hygiene was non-existent.
“Here I am living on a stone floor, carrying water in buckets, and I’m married to a drunk who won’t take a bath.” Linda told a longtime friend. It was not the life Paul’s female fans imagined she was living.
McCartney was mourning the breakup of the Beatles. Sunk in self-pity, he wasn’t writing songs and went for days without picking up a guitar. But as fall turned to winter in 1969, Linda finally lost patience. “She was yelling at him to get off his ass and be a man, already,” the friend recalls in Paul McCartney: A Life, an engaging new biography by Peter Ames Carlin.[...]
