Designer of the Day

Sir Paul Smith is an English fashion designer whose business and reputation is founded upon his menswear. He is commercially successful and highly respected within the fashion industry. Sir Paul was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 2000 after nearly three decades as an international menswear icon. His men’s and women’s ready-to-wear collections are usually identified by the presence of the designer’s multi-stripe signature somewhere on each item. When considering his eclectic aesthetic, Sir Paul stated, “We’re a leading and uniquely British brand. We mix up one-off antiques with high quality tailoring: the chair you sit on when you buy a suit is for sale and we can wrap the suit and have the chair waiting for you when you get home.”
