Paul Smith sale

Paul Smith opened his first shop in back in 1970. He took an evening class in tailoring and with the help of his wife Pauline (an RCA fashion graduate), Paul was able to create what he wanted. By 1976 showed his first menswear collection in Paris under the Paul Smith label. Within 20 years of his introduction to fashion Paul Smith had established himself as the pre-eminent British designer.

Paul Smith has the ability to anticipate, and even spark off trends not only fashion but in the wider context of popular culture. He manages to transmit a genuine sense of humour and mischief mixed with his love of tradition and the classics. The Paul Smith shops reflect the character of Paul and his designs, an unmistakable Englishness augmented by the unexpected. The shops house the Paul Smith collections and an extensive selection of jewellery, books, art, antiques and an array of interesting and beautiful products. Work of British designers is often showcased alongside Paul’s personal collections of art or curios. Today there are 12 different Paul Smith collections, including menswear, womenswear, childrenswear, accessories, shoes, watches, furniture and fragrance.
