Paul Smith revisits decades of standout style as the label unveils its fiftieth anniversary collection. The fashion house continues a tradition of reinterpreting classic wardrobe staples with a fresh lineup of archetypal pieces. Sharp suits feature clean lines and a slender silhouette that pays homage to the 1970s, while also maintaining a modern allure thanks to elongated shapes and high breaks. Meanwhile, items like the double-breasted melton overcoat make a statement with raw edges and contrast topstitching. A photographic spaghetti print inspired by a 1980s trip to Tokyo adds a graphic punch and the beginning of a casual conversation. Denim also makes an appearance with raw, traditional, over-dyed, and floral camouflage finishes. Bright shades of sky blue pop against neutral tones like terracotta and clay as puffer jackets and more lend the collection a certain sportiness.
