Miles McMillan for Paul Smith Spring/Summer 2012 Campaign
Making Waves–Marking his second campaign for the season, Miles McMillan steps into the studio for Sir Paul Smith. Fronting the spring/summer 2012 campaign, a softer sense of dress goes a long way against the sharp brim of traditional wear.
Paul Smith Jeans Spring/Summer 2012
Summer in France–The works of artist Louis Bourgeois and director Jean Luc Goddard inspire the latest collection of Paul Smith Jeans. As jackets are gray and bleached, the tapestries of Bourgeois are translated into a subdued color palette that calms. Dressing t-shirts and cuffed shorts, a laid-back attitude is reinforced before heading into the arena of Goddard. Adding more vibrancy and an acid trip of a color array, gradients and other prints decorate the collection’s easy pieces, while denim is treated for a youth-infused outing.

The Calm Before the Storm–Basking in hues of blue and black, Paul Smith sends his men out to sea for his fall/winter 2012 collection. Capturing the iridescent quality of water, various fabric finishes gave the range depth as Smith executed easy garments with a subtle twist. Layering fluorescent colors with darker counterparts, the algae of the sea was translated into a novel idea, while anchors and various sea creatures gave life to charming collection accents.
