I didn’t attend this show, but from the photos coming out, I really like the direction. Paul Smith, it seems by tradition has always understood what makes a woman sexy. It’s the lines, the ability to show without giving it all away. A lot designers revel in showing what you may not want to show. This collection, plunging necklines and all, seemed to keep all the body parts where they needed to be, yet at the same time maintained a sexiness not found in other lines. It’s the difference between being overt and understated. Other items in the collections seemed playful yet grown up. The English influence is definitely there. I didn’t get the feeling of the vibrant pastellish spring that has been making the rounds this week, but that’s not a bad thing . For the most part the colors were subduded which drew attention more to the actual design at play. I’m somewhat upset that I didn’t go to this show as it probably would have been my favorite.
My wrap-up comes later tonight.
