Paul Smith, high mountain haute couture

The return of wooly jumpers and checkered shirts in the mountains, like the legendary shirts worn by the great Carlo Mauri?

Two videos are worth watching, the first is the official clip with highlighners Antoine Moineville and Tancrède Melet, while the second is a behind the scenes short documentary. Ah yes, for those who happen to be interested, the women's version goes online tomorrow...
