Paul Smith has come up trumps again with another uber cool collection for Spring Summer 2012. 'She's a Rainbow' played out the end of the show as Paul and his girls walked the catwalk circuit - this Rolling Stones song epitomised this brilliant show from the master of British fashion cool.
His trade mark confident 'Tom Boy Fem' styling was dominated by cropped slim line trousers worn with oversized jumpers, white, patterned or colour block blouses alternatively worn under bright coloured tailored jackets looking easy to wear reflecting the laid back spirit that is shaping trends for next season. This chic and understated look is aspirational in the present economic climate. I loved the styling as always - The array of hats set the look off perfectly and I loved the hand bags with Chanel like gold chains, a touch of bling to go with the androgeny balanced the look perfectly.
The look is by no means 'rock chick' but was in parts very Rock n Roll and intelligent, ideal for the Paul Smith woman. Wear it to a Festival or to work - this laid back collection can work for either.
