The new Paul Smith collection focuses on strong shapes from the ’20s and ’50s. Oversized, rounded black frames look to the elegant style of Audrey Hepburn, while vintage inspired brow-bar frames in tortoise shell and dark oak take inspiration from the Gatsby period of the late 1920s.
The colours are warm and more neutral for this 2013 collection, thus helping to create a gentle, elegant aesthetic. This season, the signature quote is both optimistic and upbeat. ‘Good Day Sunshine’ is paired with a sun-shaped plaque inlaid on the inside temple of the frames, providing the hidden twist that Paul Smith always exudes.
