Paul Smith

Paul Smith Menswear Collection

Essentially one of Britain’s most iconic fashion labels to date, Paul Smith has emerged in the last 40 years as a leading trend setter for quirky contemporary British clothing. Even though Paul Smith has set a whole new standard for up-coming British designers, he originally did not envision himself as such a masterful creator. With some encouragement, he opened his first boutique in 1970 and his collections were quickly picked up and shown on the Paris catwalks.

He had injected a much needed sense of fun and humour into the modestly tailored British persona. Paul Smith’s iconic use of multi-colour pin stripe has enabled him to produce truly bespoke clothing that symbolizes a British sense of style combined with a contemporary twist.

The fashion house is now well known not just for its exquisite tailoring and Paul Smith suits but also for its bags, accessories, and Paul Smith trainers, which combine innovative design with unique finishes and luxury materials.

There are now twelve Paul Smith collections including Paul Smith London, a thoroughly modern but formal collection heavily influenced by the strong traditions of British tailoring. Permeating his designs is an unmistakable sense of Englishness, which is offset by flashes of the surprising and quirky, to create garments what he once termed as ‘classic with a twist.’
