This summer, spirits are high and heady with a relaxed, carefree collection that embraces Paul Smith’s modern, masculine aesthetic for women. Light-as-a-feather fabrics in dec
onstructed shapes are soft and airy giving layered pieces a cool simplicity. Mannish, tailored pieces in smooth fabrics are sleek and fitted; an off-white double breasted suit is elegant and sophisticated worn open at the neck. Silk handkerchief checks are flattering in oversize proportions; shirts are tucked into slim trousers or drawstring pants worn low on the waist. Laced-trimmed georgette dresses add a touch of femininity, casually wrapping around the waist to create a sensual silhouette.
Pretty, soft-washed powder tones of blush, lavender and mauve sit next to a more masculine range of chambray blues and steely greys whilst vibrant shots of bright buttercup, jade and bordeaux bring optimistic block colour highlights to the palette. Hazy florals add depth, their petals inked with dark, velvety tones.
