When Paul Smiths Fall 09 show opened on Sunday night, models in mainline suit and cycling vest combo’s strutted out much to the audiences surprise. Cycling Vests? Really? But if you consider that Sir Paul was once a cyclist himself and his designs are usually inspired by his life, it comes as no surprise.
With many designers slowly migrating back to a larger pant leg, I was relieved to see that Paul Smith still included the slim cut suit into his newest collection. After all Classic cuts do not do justice to the skinnier physique. I should know.
Included were many combo’s of tartan and plaid prints, another quintessential detail we have all come to love about Paul Smith, where nothing is off-limits and all things, however suspect are possible.
With the expected warmer tones for Fall 09 Paul used a lot of grey jeans and fantastic boots. Note that he paired them with pastel colours perfectly (he also did this with his last collection). His lumberjack inspired sweater-jackets are gorgeous and really finish off the looks perfectly.
