For SS10 Paul Smith Jeans is inspired by Wes Anderson's ‘The Darjeeling Limited' a story of three brothers’ journey of self discovery through India.
The collection contrasts native Manhattan looks of refined elegance with the colourful printed palettes of India. Sharp grey marl single breasted jackets and classic trenches sit alongside Indian inspired Hawaiians and paisley shirts. Pastel striped chinos contrast with bright dip-dyed ginghams and bleached out checks which are must-haves this summer, even more than they have been in previous years.
Chambray is introduced into the collection, detailed with soft paisley piping. Chambray, if you haven't come across it before, looks like denim but is much lighter and more like cotton which makes it perfect for taking jeans and denim clothing through to summer.
Colour remains central to the collection. Pinks, oranges and yellows reflect the Indian inspiration, while blues, soft greens and purples create a darker summer palette. Pale yellow and lime green add softness to the collection.
