Long inspired by anthropology and the human condition, Hussein Chalayan now points his microscopic thought process to the animal kingdom—specifically, the extinction of species—for his new Chalayan label. The lower-priced line includes safari jackets, miniskirts in thin pleated muslin reminiscent of bug-proof netting, and asymmetrically cut denim jackets, as well as vests and tanks that incorporate a crisscross of ropes to represent nets used in the capture of animals. T-shirts are printed with a collage of wild creatures, among which the twice-crowned British Designer of the Year inserted white shapes to indicate those that have gone the way of the dodo. Many pieces are as multifunctional as Chalayan's signature line, such as a skirt that unfurls into a dress and pants with side buttons to adjust the length. Prices range from $150 (tanks) to $995 (dresses). Feel the animal magnetism at Opening Ceremony, 35 Howard St., New York, 212-219-2688.

Thanks, Stella, for debunking the last excuse we had for avoiding the gym: crappy workout gear. McCartney, an avid equestrian and gym-goer when she's not preggers, has teamed up with Adidas to design a women's running-swimming-exercising collection that also happens to take appearance into account. "Go into sports shops and most of the stuff available looks like My Little Pony in heat," she says. "It's all baby pink, candy-floss, baby blue, head-to-toe." Instead, the 58-piece Adidas by Stella McCartney sport performance line ($48 to $242)—which includes apparel, footwear and accessories—is made of high-tech, moisture-managing materials in a range of colors from red and yellow to sage and black. McCartney intends the line to be used for serious sweating, unlike bling-encrusted gym bags or cashmere sweatpants clinging to celebrity asses, even going so far as to consult athletes Steffi Graf, Laila Ali and Jade Johnson. As any granola-munching vegan will tell you, the girl's devoted when she wants to be. In New York at Bloomingdale's, 59th Street & Lexington Avenue.
