Paul Smith previewed its Autumn Winter 2026 collection at its Jio World Drive store in Mumbai’s Bandra Kurla Complex on October 13. The evening had a DJ set, a cocktail bar and food, with creators in attendance and photo shoots running through the store.
The collection was split across the label’s two ranges: the mainline Paul Smith collection and PS Paul Smith. The mainline is the brand’s occasion wear, made in Italy and Portugal. It includes the label’s signature polos, prints, and stripes. The multicoloured stripe has been a recurring Paul Smith motif for decades, and according to the brand team, some of the shirts in this line carry as many as 40 colours in their stripes.
PS Paul Smith covers regular wear, polo shirts, everyday tees, and printed jackets, all made in Morocco and Turkey. The line was introduced in 2016, when the brand merged its earlier sub-labels into two, and it keeps the mainline’s colour palette with more contemporary silhouettes.
On the rails, the collection leaned on greens, browns and checks, alongside printed shirts and tailoring. Accessories were displayed separately, including cufflinks, wallets, wash bags, and key chains. Through the evening, creators and guests tried on jackets and shirts from the rails, stopping to chat and have their photos taken.
The store also had a section dedicated to the brand’s collaboration with MINI, featuring key chains, wash bags and cufflinks. The partnership follows the MINI Paul Smith Edition, a special edition of the MINI Cooper unveiled at the Japan Mobility Show in Tokyo in October 2025, which carries Paul Smith’s signature stripe on its roof. The Autumn Winter 2026 collection was first shown at Milan Men’s Fashion Week in January, where it paired classic tailoring with nylon, leather and Western-style belts and buckles. Its campaign, photographed by Samuel Bradley on the streets of New York, features model Vasko Luyckx.
Paul Smith entered India in 2008 with stores in New Delhi and Bengaluru. Apart from its own stores, the label also retails through luxury e-commerce platforms such as Ajio Luxe and Tata CLiQ Luxury.
