Yet McCartney is a woman of many thoughts. While crisp, dark denim and pastel knits took the polo-shirt conceit into appealing new-suit territory, a group featuring giant white-on-black swirls moved in its own curious tangent.

Nor McCartney’s fab footwear — offbeat upgrades to flip-flops with athletic soles. Fashion knows no greater affirmation than happy feet.
