The Paul Smith Fall 2013 collection was exhibited as a part of this year's London Fashion Week. The event was witness to the upscale house's coming preference for color as the models sported a diverse array of reds, pinks and blues on the high end catwalk.
Fans of the Paul Smith label will surely appreciate the brand's ability to convey form and structure via loose apparel. Slouchy leather pants and cloth trousers were markedly feminine, especially when paired with aggressive pops of color. This Fall 2013 line has consequently broken several fashion molds, creating its own womanly niche within an industry that often prefers skin tight cuts and revealing ensembles. Chunky oversize accessories furthered this theme.
