LFW: Paul Smith AW10

No category

It was good girls gone bad at Paul Smith, where the designer slickly combined his signature British country looks with a series of funky-punky youthful looks via Mad Men 50s silhouettes.

The designer spoke to WGSN: “I found a tailored tweed jacket from Portobello Road, which had a label inside saying it had belonged to a Lady Lee in 1951. So I tried to find out about her and my imagination went mad! I imagined her borrowing lots of her mum’s clothes – girls who would mix that lovely elegant riding jacket but with the wrong trousers.”

The look was naughty debutante with a feminine 50s silhouette mixed with classic British equestrian.

Key items include a huntsman coat, laced-back second-skin jodhpur-style pants, sensible pleat skirts, slick pencil skirts, playful full-circle skirts and ladylike sheath dresses combined with slouchy punk knits and elegant 50-style cocktail dresses

Fabric & knit: Fabrics were mixed with a confident hand, from country tweed and classic flannel to wet-look ciré, protective waxed cotton and flat-quilted finishes to ethereal print organza. Knits veered from ultra-fine twinset-and-pearl angora to striped punky mohair
