Paul Smith Womenswear

A very refined occasion indeed, courtesy cars attempted to whisk press and buyers across London to the transformed Hayward Gallery where on arrival complimentary champagne was downed by the bottle. After another hour or two of waiting for the rest of the guests to arrive the show began. Titled 'Private View' funky beats and David Hockney interview samples resounded through the gallery, whilst elegant models including Honor Frazer gently strided past the eagar audience. The collection is laid back and includes well worn jeans with oversized white shirts and thick knits, masculine suits and lots of simple cotton and jersey dresses. Styling was in full effect with a huge array of quirky slip on shoes by Emma Hope and slighty nerdy glasses, hair was immaculate and relaxed done by top hairdresser to the stars Sam McKnight. A top collection and very cool show, nice one Paul!
