An organic colour palette leads the transition from dawn to dusk, taking in warm orange sunrise hues through to  brilliant sky blues  and  midnight blacks. Looks are  tonally  coordinated to  give  these glorious summer colours their  moment to shine. Earth  tones further root  the  collection in natural colours, while punctuation points of bright red and  acid yellow cut through the palette.

Announcing the  coming of Spring, sunflowers shoot up throughout the  collection. With  its innate positivity, the sunflower represents the mood of the collection. Reworked in various forms from foiled silver fabric  with screen print  repeat motif or woven  into knitwear of citrus and  sky blue.
The  photographic print  is reimagined to read  as a fabric  texture with a bleached-out effect  and  pop  art sunflowers appear hand-drawn on silk.

Elevating the  central theme of lightness, fabrics have  been chosen for their  weight and  the  way they  move through space. Transparent nylons are  used to inject  a sportswear edge.
The  silhouette plays with a boyish look that softens the collection, combined with a feminine delineation.
There is a push and pull between loose and  form-hugging.

Youthful details are found throughout. Jackets are reimagined, from a straight cropped fitted jacket with waist suppression, to a boxy zipped style, alternatives to traditional tailoring are explored. Checks, enlarged across knitwear or more  traditionally on suiting styles acknowledge Paul Smith’s roots.
Trousers are wide and  give a sense of ease while shorts inject  informality.
Stripes become a central theme, woven through the collection, from integrated detailing on trims such as the pocket of a traditional Mackintosh, or knitted on  the  collar  of the  fitted  hero jacket,  to an  all-over  knitwear dress.The stripe has been reenergised and  reintegrated throughout the collection.
