  About: Founded in Nottingham in the 1970's, the Paul Smith collections have become internationally recognised and Paul Smith is one of Britain's most renowned and successful designers. Up until the age of 16, Paul had wanted to be a professional cyclist, but a serious accident set him on a different path. Once out of hospital Paul fell in with a group of art students. They talked constantly about art, architecture and design and Paul found himself longing to be part of that exciting world. From its origins in one small shop in Nottingham in 1970, Paul Smith has grown into a global business, selling in six continents. Comprising of complete clothing, shoe and accessory collections for men, women and children; representation is further extended by associated product licenses where the potential of the brand has been recognised by key licensees in the fragrance, eyewear and interior businesses., Paul Smith is one of Britain's leading independent design companies. We champion positivity, curiosity and creativity. These qualities underpin every Paul Smith design, whether it's a shirt, a shop or a special collaboration. Reaffirming the values that Paul set down in 1970, 'classic with a twist' remains the guiding principle of the company. Happily positioned between high fashion and formalwear while taking reference from both, Paul Smith has always been proud to stand apart.
