Eclectic and creative yet timeless, the optical and sunglass styles starring in the Paul Smith Spring/Summer 2023 advertising portrays maverick positivity. Skillfully crafted in Italy with premium materials, the styles boast the House's typical boldness and confident allure through versatile shapes that are wearable with a modern twist. Dotted with stylish, unexpected details, their organic color palette, based on Paul Smith's signature 'Artist Stripe,' conveys a further touch of unmistakable identity.
GOWER PSOP-092-49-01 Gower is a unisex optical style with a thick acetate construction that is neither too square nor too round. Five-barrel hinges hold its bold temples with custom patterned temple core wires and a horizontal Paul Smith stripe pin detail. Gower is featured in Black in the SS23 advertising campaign but is also available in Havanas and crystal semi-transparent hues.
GRAFTON PSOP-094-53-01 Versatile and refined, Grafton is an acetate optical frame for him featuring a rectangular front with a subtly curved brow line. Five-barrel hinges connect the front and the bold temples, boasting stripe pin details and discreetly visible metal core wire with etched Paul Smith stripes. Grafton appears in Black in the SS23 advertising campaign, but it also explores a neutral solid color palette, including Havanas and crystal semi-transparent shades.
GRIFFIN PSOP-095-51-03 The Griffin acetate frame for him exudes confidence and boldness with its modern edge. The temples, connected with the rectangular front by five-barrel hinges, have patterned core wires and the Paul Smith stripe pin detail applied. Griffin is offered in a range of colorways, from striped Havana to the Light Blue crystal coloration featured in the SS23 advertising campaign.
GARNER PSLE-088-56-05 The Garner unisex sunglasses echo the ‘80s, boasting a modified aviator metal construction with pale wash lenses and a straight top bar.
