Today in Paris's Centre Pompidou, Paul Smith Courier Bags Paul Smith presented an Autumn/Winter 13 men's collection rich in colour and touched with modernity.
Developing Spring/Summer 13's sun-blushed colour palette, for the new season wintry shades of purple and turquoise are complimented by citrus tones and contrasted with more muted khaki and black.
Fabrics from the archives of Italian mills are rewoven to offer contemporary interpretations of sartorial staples. Cloth normally used by couturiers and thick alpaca bouclé are delivered in unexpected colours, creating modern wardrobe essentials. Belted military overcoats are lined with long haired sheepskin and quilted trousers, jackets and even a cape come in boiled cashmere cloth filled with white Hungarian goose down. With every stitch and dye, traditional fabrics are injected with fresh appeal.
Print is a focus across the collection, particularly in magnified houndstooth patterns on shirting and in hazy marbling on outerwear. Knitwear contrasts paul smith mini cooper bag hardened edges with bright soft mohair. Ties tight, shirts buttoned and trousers high, jackets come short in the body, worn under double-breasted, patterned overcoats. Prim and proper pops of colour are strong throughout tailored pieces

A lot of Paul Smith Handbags people that I know and trust genuinely liked it and like the use of colour which is very hard to do in the winter. In the summer when the sun's shining, colour looks are more believable but we had a palette paul smith holdall which was more muted, more relaxed and more wearable. People like the knitwear very much and we had the confidence to mix bright trousers with Paul Smith iPhone 5 Case patterned jumpers which seemed popular too. The main thing is that our customers in around the world are happy. Fingers crossed as they say!"
