The collection evoked the ease of Tuscan summers, as well as one of the designer’s favourite holiday pastimes – cycling.
Taking it easy could have been Paul Smith’s tagline for the season. After the pandemic, he didn’t want to jump into a huge show production and pretend everything was back to normal. Instead, he invited guests to his beautiful Paris headquarters in Rue des Archives, where he staged a casual show in the upstairs salon. “I think the way we’ve done it today is correct for the house.
“It’s a sort of irreverence under what is actually a beautiful dress,” he said, gesturing at a shirtdress worn over a cycling top. The ease of the sportswear element was echoed in pyjama suits created in super luxe seersucker, which interpreted the lockdown-to-reality wardrobe mentality.The classic Paul Smith multicolour stripe made a comeback in the collection, glammed up in a column dress, knitted ankle-length skirts, and rendered diagonally on trousers.
