Apr 20, 2018 | By Emma Griffin
WHAT A TRIP
Paris: Spring at Paul Smith was a trippy exploration of bright psychedelic motifs, from rainbow gradients and chevron stripes to marijuana leaf graphics. Slouchy satin jogging pants and knee-length shorts heightened the skater vibe, while Smith’s linen tux jackets and beautiful fringe detailing were nods to forward-thinking elegance. — Nina Stotler
