Paul Smith, Britain’s foremost fashion and design company, renews its focus on a central motif of the house, the Signature Stripe.
Developed by Paul, who famously wove coloured yarns onto pieces of card to perfect colour and width combinations, the multi stripe in all its guises has become synonymous with Paul Smith.
"We made them with something called windings, where you take a piece of card and a selection of yarns in different colours, then wind the yarn around the card to build up a series of stripes. Colour is three-dimensional and so by creating the stripes by hand you can see the colours at their most vivid.’
From its beginnings as a set of coloured threads to its many and varied applications across the collections today, the Signature Stripe’s journey has been a rich and varied one.
Fast forward to today and the Signature Stripe is found throughout the collections. For Autumn Winter 2021, this stripe has been explored further, teasing out a comprehensive range of ready -to-wear from knitwear in soft wool and cashmere combinations, classic shirts and tee shirts, to home and accessories including swimming towels, pyjama’s and robes to small leather goods.
To celebrate this journey Paul Smith takes the stripe to its largest scale yet - the vast fabric of a hot air balloon, made in England. A beacon of optimism, the balloon marks the start of a global tour to celebrate the Signature Stripe around the world.
Playing with the inspiration of the yarn as the hero material, Paul Smith will create in store and on street installations to reinterpret the three core elements of the stripe; repetition, scale and colour.
