Designer
Paul Smith (b. 1946, United Kingdom) is a designer of mens- and womenswear with an enthusiasm for wide-ranging cultural references and idiosyncratic combinations of pattern and color, applied with understatement. His ability to combine a flair for eccentric detail with a dedication to the highest standards of craftsmanship has made him among the most successful fashion designers in British history. In business for over forty years, Smith continues to be an integral part of every aspect of the company as both chairman and designer, producing collections sold in over 70 countries worldwide.
