Paul Smith
Spring Summer 2010
| Paul Smith menswear for Spring Summer 2010 is an elegant, modern, British collection. The collection reinterprets classic menswear and simple sportswear pieces in a fresh uncomplicated way with clean lines and relaxed shapes in a full spectrum of colours. References are made to David Byrne, the singer from the Talking Heads and David Bowie where mod meets punk. The palette is crisp with four colour groups dominating the collection for a clean feel; navy, black, grey marl and an injection of brights seen most clearly in shirting and outerwear. Cloth choice is clean with these solid dark plains, boosted my chintz wool with a shiny lustre for a glam/punk feel. Two key looks in tailoring come through in the collection for summer; the slim silhouette and classic silhouette - both have small shoulders and are shorter in length than previous seasons. Jackets are straighter and more masculine, moving away from slim waists. The slim silhouette takes its inspiration from early David Bowie and Nick Cave with a 'mod meets punk' look. The classic silhouette is inspired by the traditional 'Mayfair' look, a classic gentleman look with wide lapels with low buttons on the jacket. It is updated for a modern look with shorter lengths in classic open weave navy blazer qualities and luxurious grey marl flannel. Shirts are neat with cut away collars in an assortment of British Bengal stripes. Trousers are low rise, relaxed fit with a slim leg, worn with classic English slip-ons. Outerwear pieces mix luxury with practicality, for example classic trenches and modern, ultra long Macs come in brightly coloured waterproof silks, alongside digitally printed cagoules and ponchos inspired by simple 1970's sportswear |
