For The Love of Brogues

Over the years I have developed a real love for Brogues and this is my current collection; Barkers (oxblood), Oliver Sweeney (blue suede), Grenson (black), Prada (purple), Paul Smith (brown), Loake (sand and light brown suede).

Is Paul Smith Missing the Mark this Season?

I have always bought a lot of Paul Smith clothes for myself over the years but I have found certain times where I have become bored of the collection.  I would imagine this is quiet common for most people buying a designer for over twenty years.

Paul Smith has been at the forefront of British design for a very long time now, I have a lot of respect for him as a person and a businessman.

This season I have felt that the menswear collection has just been a little bit too "Paul Smith", there are not enough pieces pushing the collection forward.

The women's collection is very good this season with a great balance of fashion and classic design.
