Paul Smith has always mastered the art of infusing creativity into an otherwise classic wardrobe. His choice of colours, textures, and prints creates a fun and youthful approach to timeless pieces.
For this season, the brand introduced an offering inspired by the stylish photographers of the 20th century, blending preppy aesthetics with a touch of underground subcultures. Staying true to its DNA, traditional British tailoring merged with playful motifs, creating a synergy of styles that exudes sophistication and luxury.
Paul Smith understands better than anyone how to blend eclecticism with craftsmanship. His designs strike a balance between wearability, individuality, and creativity. The multicolour stripe motif appeared on sweaters, while prints adapted from photographs taken by Paul’s father featured prominently throughout the collection. A ‘Field Flower’ motif adorned blue and orange shirts, derived from a photograph of wild daisies, showcasing the artistic drive behind his brand and evoking a vintage aesthetic.
He dresses a man who is unafraid to experiment with ambitious hues and motifs, which play an important role in revealing a softer side to the wearer. The looks incorporate an interesting twist with eye-catching elements: vibrant orange cardigans, corduroy ensembles for added texture, and unexpected proportions in jackets and trousers.
