PS by Paul Smith - The Wonderful World Of Albert Kahn


PS by Paul Smith for Spring/Summer 2010 takes inspiration from the early colour photography of Albert Kahn. In 1909 Khan commissioned photographers to travel the world, capturing landmarks and locals and publishing his work as “The Wonderful World of Albert Kahn: Colour Photographs from a Lost Age”.

The PS by Paul Smith collection faithfully interprets Kahn’s vivid and fascinating images. Classic neutrals are combined with tones of green, pink and blue; fabrics are luxurious lightweight cottons, silk mixes and linens, reminiscent of a bygone age, while a slim silhouette provides a sharp finish to an elegantly refined collection.

The PS by Paul Smith Spring/Summer 10 collection is available now at Coggles.com
