Trendy Review: Paul Smith A/W 2011


The collection celebrates the individual style and work of legendary avant-garde musicians Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart and draws inspiration from the innovative energy which immortalized their personas in rock and roll history. Their artistic freedom is channeled into details evocative of early space adventure; ruched and pleated panels, orange linings and cosmic prints are seen throughout. 

 Outerwear is strong and extreme in variation; an oversized duffle coat with sheepskin collar is paired with a patchwork trouser. Drawing inspiration from the uniforms of early space adventurers, zips are featured heavily in outerwear for Autumn Winter 2011.
