PS by Paul Smith, the line that combines the designer's
quintessentially British details with a less formal look, begins its second
season in February. After a very successful debut in 2016 and a preview of his
AW17 collection at Pitti Uomo 91, we have an update on what to expect for the upcoming
summer months ...
Designed in London, PS by Paul Smith is a laid-back take
on the iconic designer's
flagship collection. Aiming to complement everyday workwear
with a laid-back take on tailoring and reinforce weekend wardrobes with solid
basics, it offers a playful take on laid-back chic.
Inspired by the desire to travel and explore, the SS17 range
of the diffusion line is designed to bring essential tropical vibes to our
wardrobes. Combining palm leaf and cockatiel designs, the collection features
prints that appear as repeating graphics on prominent pieces and as hidden
details on the lining of clean pieces.
The resulting collection is a mix of outerwear, knitwear,
jersey and denim,
with technicalfabrics, loose cuts and athletic-inspired details. Think deconstructed suits,
impeccably cut shirts, and enviable leather bombers.
Highlights include an embroidered souvenir jacket, which
reinforces Paul Smith's ties to Japan and is almost certain to reignite
excitement around the 2016 must-have. There's also a waterproof mac; Crafted
from dry-blend cotton twill, the striking cobalt blue colourway and lightweight
body combine to create a fresh take on the transitional wardrobe staple. Luxury sportswear continues to influence, with evidence ranging from subtle details on
outerwear to oversized athletic stripes on organic cotton T-shirts. Meanwhile,
separate unstructured pieces in a selection of modern colors and patterns offer
a contemporary and relaxed approach to tailoring. As you would expect from the brand,
quality is at the center of their concerns. When it comes to jeans, PS uses
only the finest 13 oz unwashed indigo dyed selvage denim from Italy, flanked by
the rest of the range in premium heavy leathers, soft cashmere blends and
breathable merino wool.

Spring / Summer 2021 also sees the launch of the brand's
bold new logo created by Fergus Purcell, the man behind the instantly
recognizable triangle icon used by cult skate brand Palace. Add to that the
opening of dedicated PS by Paul Smith stores around the world, including a new
London store with neon pink designer signatures, polished concrete and convex
mirrors, and PS is making a name for itself. The PS by Paul Smith SS17
Collection is now available in stores and online at paulsmith

WHO: JEAN LÉGENDE
OR: SUPER CONCERT SATURDAY NIGHT DIRECTV, TEXAS
There is no new album in sight, but at least one more
unusual look from Mr. Chrissy Teigen. Legend plays it safe elegantly in an
all-black look, but adds a dark tonal camo print for a memorable touch. Forget
John's studio, you're already a hitmaker in our eyes.

OR: HIGHLIGHT OF THE YEAR AWARD, CALIFORNIA
Add two parts of Savile Row to one part of Gomez Addams and
you have one of the best Gosling looks of 2017 to date. And all this thanks to
the fine stripes that provide texture and lengthen the frame of it. Terribly
good.
