PAUL SMITH FALL \/ WINTER ’18 SHOW<\/p>\n
Looking to a bright future, Paul Smith’s autumn\/winter’ 18 collection escapes to a more peaceful
\nand positive place with dreamlike colours and motifs, fantastical embroidery and a softening of
\ntraditional sartorial codes.
\nWith tailoring forever at the heart of Paul Smith, the collection celebrates the suit and reasserts its relevance.
\nConfident statement suits are presented for both men and women. In the opening look smooth satin lapels
\nroll into dense pleats with jacquard wool sleeves woven with dancing fairies. On single pieces, houndstooth
\nis panelled alongside Prince of Wales check and leather juxtaposed with hardy British tailoring cloths. The
\nadded length in jackets is a nod to Paul’s own past when in the Eighties he led a confident movement to relax
\nthe suit again reasserting its relevance.
\nMuted colour builds to a crescendo of bright red. Illustrator Edmund Dulac inspires a romantic palette of
\nmidnight blues, deep purples and other jewel-tones. Painterly prints bring a much-needed sense of optimism
\nand respite from world woes and are delivered in other-worldly psychedelic florals and ethereal moonlit
\nlandscapes. Of particular prominence in the collection is the Dreamer print, seen most vividly in the intricacy
\nof woven lambswool and mohair knitwear.
\nFor women, tailoring is similarly relaxed but always has form. Suit jackets are deconstructed but follow the
\nfemale figure, hugging at the waist to give a naturally confident shape that is never masculine. Satin dresses
\nhave an effortless elegance and appliqu\u00e9d ribbon bows give detail and are inspired by Paul’s own drawings of
\nflowers.
\nIn outerwear length is again accentuated. The perfect timeless Epsom coat in a traditional English fabric
\nis given an unexpected burst of vibrancy in turquoise and heavy leather coats appear in the Dulac-inspired
\njewel-tones. Leather engineering boots and tool bags further contrast the softened, relaxed tailoring.
\nFriendship bracelets and charms on necklaces and earrings bring to life the theme of escapism and a sense of
\nindividuality and self-expression.
