RUNWAY: Paul Smith SS12

Paul Smith's iconic stripes were absent for SS12, in lieu of those stripes were large color blocked sweaters and more subtly color blocked trousers. The stripes were so large that they did not widen the silhouette, as some horizontal stripes do. He also played considerably with fabric finishes, with some featuring shiny finished and other looking a bit burnt. He seemed to throw his well recognized stripes into a mixer and mixed them up, creating a jumbled rainbow effect on pieces that came towards the finale, such as a paneled denim jacket. SS12 was a stretch for Smith and though the quiet and predominantly blue collection feature some great pieces, it seemed to lack that extra punch.
