RUNWAY: Paul Smith FW17

Eschewing a show in Paris, Paul Smith showed his FW17 collection in Florence during Pitti Uomo. What followed was an exercise in functionality and style. Rather than static models who stood in hot lights for hours at a time, Smith hired models to perform gravity defying feats while donning his performance-friendly collection. The clothes trended to have a base color of black with bright dashes of color, something Smith is known for.
