PAUL SMITH JEANS

The Paul Smith jeans collection offers a casual and relaxed look, with soft fabrics, brightly printed t-shirts, contemporary polo shirts and a wide range of washed denim. Lightweight outdoor jackets harbour a unique and individual twist; concealed pockets, deep buttoned cuffs and vented backs. The Paul Smith jeans range is an easy to wear collection designed for comfort and style.

For Spring/Summer '10 Paul Smith Jeans continues to reference the work of film director Wes Anderson, taking inspiration from his most recent film ‘The Darjeeling Limited’, a story of three brothers’ journey of self discovery through India.

The collection contrasts the brothers’ native Manhattan look of refined elegance with the colourful printed palettes they come to experience in India. Sharp grey marl single breasted jackets and classic trenches sit alongside Indian inspired Hawaiians and paisley shirts. Pastel striped chinos contrast with bright dip-dyed ginghams and bleached out checks. Chambray is introduced into the collection, detailed with soft paisley piping.

Anderson’s use of colour remains central to the Paul Smith Jeans collection. Pinks, oranges and yellows reflect the Indian inspiration, whilst blues, soft greens and purples create a darker summer palette. Pale yellow and lime green add softness to the collection.
