Overview

Paul Smith London was one of the menswear collections/lines offered within the Paul Smith brand, led by British designer Paul Smith. It focused primarily on menswear centered on tailoring, featuring items that incorporated the brand’s signature use of color and distinctive details. Ahead of Fall/Winter 2016, the brand’s collection structure was reorganized, and several menswear lines were consolidated into two groups, “Paul Smith” and “PS by Paul Smith,” so Paul Smith London was treated as having ended as an independent line.
