As winter draws to a close and spring loiters on the horizon, waiting for that perfect, instantaneous moment in which to burst forth, fashion eyes hunger for the sun- for breezy dresses, perfectly tailors shorts and a summer love affair with the delicate slouch of an oversized, overworn t-shirt. Enter Nathan Smith: purveyor of earth stained tones and streaks of perfect blue, a designer drawing inspiration instinctively from the beautifully unforgiving Australian landscape.

Nathan Smith embodies Australian summer. The natural warmth of the land. The unrelenting sun that blisters the sand beneath our toes. The extreme unbearableness of it all that goes hand-in-hand with the gut wrenching beauty of landscape. Hard and soft all at once- Nathan Smith is this sunburnt country, and all the reasons we fall in love, year after year, with our sweaty, stinging, unrelenting summer.

Organic and practical, Nathan Smith’s summer range is the perfect answer to a heady Australian atmosphere- easy to wear and yet unassumingly stylish. From softly tailored trousers and shorts to slouchy t-shirts that are designed to become wardrobe favourites, sexuality becomes almost irrelevant as clothes fit boys and girls in a full, sun drenched circle. Aside from lengthy dresses for women, there is little that can’t be transposed between genders- it seems Nathan Smith is not only a designer but a cupid, encouraging those magical romances that occur beachside, in dusky twilight and linger forever in honey coated memories.
