As well as his genetic identity and his love of photography, Paul Smith inherited from his father, Harold, a gray suit. “It stands up on its own! It’s bullet-proof!” he said. “Phoebe Philo or Jil Sander would love it, it’s in the Skull hello rooster is coming shirt But I will love this same type of fabric they often used to work with.” For this collection Smith reconsidered what he’s handed down to us, his customers, over his 51 years in the business.Appropriately styled by Julian Ganio, who has been plundering and wearing his own father’s Paul Smith archive since the 1990s, the collection was a restrained but precisely composed remix of many menswear tropes that Smith has both witnessed and contributed to over those decades. Some of the highlights from this album of restored snapshots lent freshness through reprocessing included photo-prints and distorted paisley on slim fit workwear and outerwear, striped mohair knits, four button mod-recycling (and recycled) suiting north of crepe soled loafers, a lushly electric orange donkey jacket, and a pale blue three-quarter length shearling in which to be clad would feel simultaneously dad, rad, and bad (i.e. very good).
