I love Paul Smith‘s castings. He uses a strange mix of guys on his catwalk, not always models, but men he thinks are pretty cool. That can mean anything, but for this season it is a lot of long-haired rocker types, but not the boring skinny versions, but real men. I also love the styling of the show, everything looks thrown on and effortless (there’s that word again…)
I love…
that Paul Smith can put pussy bow shirts and ridiculous sunglasses on his models, without making them look like girly men.
a great mix of textures. The shiny jacket, the discreetly patterned shirt, and the grey acid washed jeans with interesting seaming.
forcing men to experience a day-in-the-life of a woman: carrying around a giant shoulder bag AND a handbag.
I loathe…
when the floral pattern is worn with the pussy bow shirt and then its gets to be too much.
