Legendary Brit designer
Paul Smith opened his first shop in 1970; now, more than 40 years later, the London-based designer combines commercial success with critical credibility. Constructed in Italy, this Kensington suit is crafted from pure wool to a lightweight silhouette. Cut close through the shoulders, chest and waist, its slim-fitting style is paired with tapered trousers and narrow notch lapels creating a lean, rakish profile.
