Given his current exhibition 'Hello my name is Paul Smith' at London's Design Museum, you can't quite help thinking that Sir Smith may have been in a reflective state of mind since his last outing. As an acoustic version of the Fleetwood Mac anthem Go your own way belted through the Central Saint Martin's show space, the designer's rendition of a pyjama party offered everything from paisley dressing gowns to piped-silk striped jackets that later morphed into floral Art Nouveau jacquards. Then as the music took a sharp turn for a rave rendition of the band's Dreams, Smith mixed in a grey sleeveless pinstriped vest, paired back with a spotted grey pant and fur gilet that was as modern as it was just plain cool. On the styling front, also look out for the return of the stewardess scarf, knotted to one side and best teamed with a buttoned cardigan and man-style pants. But what was crystal clear here was the designer's enduring passion for his craft - still very much in printed abundance.
