Character, colour, and a masterful new print? It must be the PS Paul Smith for Fenwick capsule collection. Bringing together two stalwarts of British fashion, shop dapper separates, silk scarves - plus the ultimate pink coat - in our exclusive capsule collection.

We are thrilled to reveal the PS Paul Smith for Fenwick collection – a range of our best-selling pieces in an exclusive-to-Fenwick print. Bringing together two stalwarts of British fashion, our collection with PS Paul Smith draws on inspiration from Paul Smith’s enthusiasm for collecting and travel. The range offers a capsule collection of print-focused separates for both men and women, as well as a selection of accessories. Illustrated by hand, the print includes musical instruments, flowers and toys, and represents a playful yet quirky look often associated with PS Paul Smith collections. Find dapper separates, silk scarves – plus the ultimate pink coat – in this capsule collection. You can shop this exclusive collection in-store* and online from today. We spoke to Fenwick’s Menswear Buying Manager, Mithun Ramanandi, and Womenswear Buying Manager, Martina Jameidar, about the collaboration, how it came to fruition, and what items they are already wearing.

Why an exclusive collaboration with PS Paul Smith?

Mithun: "Paul Smith is a British icon and we have worked with the PS Paul Smith label for many years. I respect how the brand continues to use colour and print to keep it fresh whilst ensuring the collection appeals to all ages. It’s always exciting to see what print they will come up with."

Martina: “The conversation for this collaboration started two years ago and is the first of its kind for us – one that offers women’s clothing, men’s clothing and accessories in the range.”

What do you think the response will be?

Mithun: "I am certain our customers will love the collection. They continually shop the brand within Fenwick and love our edit. This collection will be a great way for them to update their wardrobe with items exclusive to us."

Martina: “Hopefully they will love it as much as we do. It’s ageless, diverse, and most importantly, it’s fun. Our customers are magpies and love ornate pieces, which this collection more than delivers.”

What is the print inspired by? Is there any icon that sticks out to you?

Mithun: "The print is inspired by items collected by Paul Smith on his travels and reminds me of their showrooms, which always features eclectic art. I particularly like the robot motif."

Martina: “I adore the rabbit with the perfume bottle, as well as the illustration of Big Ben – I could spend hours just sitting and looking at it. Every one of the illustrations is hand drawn, which makes it that much more special.”

Which piece is your favourite from the collection and how would you style it?

Mithun: "I love the All Over Print Tailored Shirt (£150). It's typical PS Paul Smith – fun, interesting and colourful. You can wear the shirt in multiple ways but I am going to wear mine with the Buggy Jacket (£350) and Slim Fit Chinos (£145)."

Martina: "The Printed Midi Skirt (£260) as it's so versatile. I can dress it up with a nice top for a summer wedding or I can dress it down with trainers for a casual garden party."
