A titan of British design, Sir Paul Smith is the founder and chief designer of one of Britain’s leading fashion companies. The brand, which started as a tiny shop in Nottingham in 1970, now spans 130 stores in 60 countries around the world. Although best known for its timeless menswear – most recently seen dressing many of Hollywood’s leading men this awards season – Paul Smith has continued to innovate and collaborate across industries, with partners from the Rolling Stones to Mini, Anglepoise to Manchester United – all while remaining independent, and true to Sir Paul’s original vision.
