Paris Catwalk Fashion Show fw2010: Paul Smith
Looking at the diverse types of models that walked in Paul Smith’s fashion show, you’d think he must have wanted to reach a large audience. The models were as different as they could be: young, old, pale, bold, long, bearded, red-haired etc.
The clothes were just as diverse. Shirts with floral prints, checked jackets, colorful trousers and bowler hats were easily combined in one look. And while some clothes were appropriate for punky students other seemed perfect for late night dinners.
In this collection Paul Smith mixed natural colors like brown, gray and beige with bright ones like pink, blue, red and purple.
A few jackets had decorated safety pins attached and we saw sunglasses in some of the breast pockets.
Items that really caught our eye were a black poncho, a long cobalt blue overcoat and a turquoise colored suit. The show ended with some slick black dinner jackets.
Then Paul Smith and all his models came on to the runway in a chaotic manner that matched the fashion show’s overall vibe.
Paris Catwalk Fashion Show fw2010: Hermès

For next winter Veronique Nichanian designed a qualitative and diversified menswear collection for Hermès. Just like many desigers Veronique opted for gray as the main color. Though she added some red, blue, green and black.
The Hermès models were well-dressed and much attention was paid to every little detail. From the floral scarfs to the handkerchiefs in the breast-pockets and the chains attached to the trousers.
The collection had velours jackets, turtle necks, woolly cardigans, leather pants and jackets with zippers that were only zipped in the middle.
Over a few coats the models wore a sophisticated leather belt and their large scarfs were tied in a particular way. Two snake leather jackets were real showpieces.
Altogether it was a solid collection with very wearable designs.
