Reflections on tailoring, color and the art of wit
Paul Smith is British fashion with personality. Founded in 1970 in
Nottingham, it all began in a tiny shop – barely larger than a living room,
three by three meters. There Paul Smith sold his first designs, inspired by
classic English tailoring, but always with a colorful wink.
From this spirit emerged the hallmark now recognized worldwide: the
“Artist Stripe.” That small rainbow breaking through suits, shirts and
coats, giving them an unmistakable signature.
The current collection shows Paul Smith at his best: bold color
combinations, intense shades next to quiet classics, stripes and checks
reinterpreted. English tailoring remains the foundation, but always with
that touch of humor that softens severity.
Paul Smith is fashion for men who value tradition yet wish to assert their
own character. Classic yet personal, serious yet playful.
