John Smedley’s AW16 collection, The artistry of Knit, was concise and soft. The collection aims to reflect brush strokes from paintings in order to create texture within the garments. The presentation of the collection actually involved a live painter and artist Doris A. Day has actually created some pieces for the collection as well.

With deep colors such as maroon, grey and a dark turquoise, the collection is mature, wintery and beautiful. We also love the concept of combining art with fashion, because really, aren’t they the same thing? Isn’t fashion a kind of art, and art a kind of fashion? Something to ponder…meanwhile…check out the AW16 John Smedley collection for some stylish, demure designs.
