Elegant as always, Paul Smith’s A/W’10 menswear collection references the modern bohemian gentleman, inspired by the frontmen from the band, Bad Seeds. Refined pieces in this collection are contrasted with accents such as sportswear detailing, while still maintaining the soft silhouette with double breasted coats, capes and full length parkas. The colour palette is suitably more subdued and dark with five groups dominating; purple, red, teak, Prussian blue and aubergine. Fabrics are sleek and opulent and made from rare fibres such as mohair and Angora, alongside cashmere and silk to achieve a relaxed, lightweight and draped shape.

Available at Paul Smith at Hilton hotel, #02-24 from September onwards.
