PAUL SMITH SPRING 2014 MENSWEAR
Sir Paul Smith means business, only not at Westminster. From the outset, a muted pastel pink sports coat hemmed in beige set a playfully androgynous tone. It’s this hybrid of suiting and luxe sportswear that has set Sir Paul apart from his peers of late. That and his knack for the Savile Row trade. Pointing to a methodical use of superfine wools and polished cottons responsible for the easy veneer of luxury, Sir Paul aggressed the East meets West London subcultures, coining a new breed of dandy. Mellow-yellow headlined a sublime canvas of pastel beige, fuchsia and deep maroon offset by black, tonal euphoria. Interestingly, a mushroom print became a recurrent motif, make of that what you will. The Paul Smith man resides, comfortably, in a strange and beautiful space.
