Next-gen photographer Mercy James shoots Stella Kids Autumn Winter 2022 

Celebrating the talent of tomorrow today, Madonna’s daughter Mercy James organised a special shoot for Stella Kids Autumn Winter 2022 – capturing her sisters Stella and Estere in nature wearing conscious pieces from the collection.  

I’m incredibly happy I was able to shoot for Stella McCartney Kids’ clothing line. My beautiful sisters Estere and Stella agreed to model for me!

Photographed in New York State, the shoot merges a passion for photography, family and conscious fashion. Born in Blantyre Malawi, Mercy inherited her mother’s creativity and style.  The 16-year-old has been studying photography for five years, connecting her younger sisters with the camera in an intimate outdoor setting.  

I love [photography]. It’s amazing to be able to capture so many moments through a lens and create my own stories.

For Mercy, the power of photography is its freedom and limitless boundaries – quoting on her website: “I like the fact that pictures can speak to us loudly and clearly through our eyes. Not everybody looking at the images will have the same point of view or feeling when looking at the same thing.” 

For the shoot, Stella and Estere sported AW22’s colourful styles, crafted from responsible materials kinder to Mother Earth. Signature looks included our forest-friendly viscose printed dresses – made from wood pulp sourced from responsibly managed forests, traceable from tree to textile to ensure no ancient, endangered or protected forests are harmed.

Next came organic cotton fringed star t-shirts, grown without harmful chemicals or pesticides, and using less water compared to convention cotton. Rounding out the offering was our spray print teddy fleece jacket and dreamy bomber jacket, featuring our iconic rainbow motif.
