The Calm Before the Storm–Basking in hues of blue and black, Paul Smith sends his men out to sea for his fall/winter 2012 collection. Capturing the iridescent quality of water, various fabric finishes gave the range depth as Smith executed easy garments with a subtle twist. Layering fluorescent colors with darker counterparts, the algae of the sea was translated into a novel idea, while anchors and various sea creatures gave life to charming collection accents.
