The legendary designer impressed as always with his uniquely tailored view on elegant summer dressing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Changing His Stripes<\/b><\/p>\n

Paul Smith has been quietly tinkering with his iconic brand. So quietly, in fact, you may not have heard him do it. He withdrew his famous multi-stripe a few years ago and has, since then, been pushing his designs in a slightly more progressive direction: his SS16 menswear collection was luxuriously flowing with long, slouchy jackets and wider trousers that felt like a valuable addition to the 70s-inspired movement we\u2019ve seen so much of lately. This gently directional flavour was present in the women\u2019s show as well, which featured plenty of his signature trouser suits except that this time they were a little looser, double breasted and quietly chic (even in a near-Klein blue).<\/p>\n

Restrained Brights<\/b><\/p>\n

Generally, the execution of lively colours was refined, coming across as attractively eccentric rather than garishly flash \u2013 Paul Smith\u2019s trademark in many ways. A cropped sleeve, collarless wrap coat came in a glossy tangerine shade that felt elegant against simple white trousers while painterly pops of colour in lightly patterned dresses were muted by the soft, graceful cuts: nothing overdone, nothing in excess.<\/p>\n

Discreet Innovation<\/b><\/p>\n

The most original piece came in the form of a dungaree-dress-trouser hybrid that finished off a rakishly high-waisted pant-suit with crossover straps up top. It sounds strange in print, but looked great in reality when placed over a vivid t shirt to shake up a sleek black ensemble that was part formal, part louche. Refinement was the watch word, and that\u2019s certainly no bad thing amid the PVC-charged politicism that accompanies much of LFW \u2013 though of course, we love that as well.<\/p>\n
