RUNWAY: Paul Smith SS14
British designer
Sir Paul Smith looked to the swinging 70s as part of his inspiration for Spring/Summer 2014 and though Flower Power might have been the most on-trend viewpoint, Smith instead looked to mind-altering drugs as a starting point; mushrooms appeared on shirts and tees while psychedelic printed pants and jackets were showcased. A slimmer silhouette felt fresh and youthful because of Smith's connection to the London youth and music scene while the tailoring were well-made, per usual.
