Despite his strength existing mostly in the menswear department, Paul Smith’s Spring 2009 collection for women was probably one of his most coherent yet! Gathering inspiration from an exhibition of British Orientalist art, Smith experimented with voluminous cotton pants and dresses, floral silk chiffon prints and layered petticoats. As an experienced menswear designer, the tailoring of Smith’s coats, jackets and pants was impeccable. Maybe womenswear is your forte after all!
