After a solid week of work at LFW, I was over the moon to end on such a good note in such a pleasant atmosphere- the Paul Smith ss10 show, I couldnt have wished for anything more. It was my second season running and it was such a amazing thing to be part of. Due to the god awful postal strike I spent weeks worrying I wasnt guna make it as my pass didn't arrive but luckily I was given a new one (my theory is some little postman stole it and went to the show). It was surprisingly calm and everything was organised down to a t, no running around and trying to track down models that were still in other shows! It was a relief after one of the longest weeks of my life! Back stage the hosts Claridges (heaven) where providing tea and cakes (the best ive ever had) the beautiful models cough cough Coco where getting ready....everything was tip top. Paul Smith was walking around balancing a book on his head. A book that he wrote the preface for and also features one of his ss 10 suits on the front cover - Gentlemen of Bakongo! by Daniele Tamagni! The front cover is one of the best photographs ive ever seen! Same one was used for the invites, you can see it on my dodgy scan above.
Any way, the collection was amazing. As always he hit the nail on the head, full of mix and match colours and patterns for a very fun summer! It still conveyed the amazing british eccentricity that to me Paul Smith is all about. Clean cut suits, popping colours, beautiful brogues.....ahh the compliments are endless. I have selected a few of my fave bits to show you. It was all very over exciting as I got a kiss (on the cheek) from the big man him self. I cant wait till next season!
