Paul Smith’s Spring/Summer 2010 collection was much inspired by Gentlemen of Bakongo. We saw lots of obviously mannish suits and shirts, ties and hats, even shoes.
The only thing that was feminine in them was the combinaion of colors. Only women could wear something too bright and controversial at the same time.
Though it did look impressive and interesting. I’m sure some girs, those who like wearing men’s clothes, would love to adopt some items into their wardrobes.
The color was significant not only in suit sets but in every outfit presented in the line. Lots of unexpected and really vibrant tones were incorporated into pieces artfully.
There were a few monotone items as well and they looked great too.
Loads of stripes, plaids and other patterns even made the collection look cuter and more youthful.
What my eye caught were the accessories, to be precise it was beads elaborated into collars and necklaces. They were fantastic!
And the braids which will definitely be trendy in warm seasons and the lipstick that was all colors possible including green, blue, grey, orange, red and other tones.
