Classic British Styles with a Twist! 

‘Paul Smith’ was founded by Sir Paul Smith in 1970 when he opened his first store – Paul Smith “Vêtement Pour Homme” in Nottingham. He sold well established clothing labels, alongside pieces that he designed himself. The store was a mere three square meters and originally only sold men’s clothing. Six years later Paul decided to travel to Paris and showcase his men’s collection there. From that point onwards Paul Smith kept on growing as a brand and expanded into different territories around the world.

Paul Smith’s London store was opened in 1979 on Floral St in Covent Gardens – it remains one of the most iconic and flagship stores operated by Paul Smith. Nowadays the brand is well known for its creative aesthetics with a blend of British tradition and modernity for both women and men’s clothing and accessories – including the vast eyewear collection.

The Stripes

Stripes have been central to Paul Smith’s design work since the early days of the company. The Artist Stripe was inspired by the colour combinations of expressionist art. The Stripes are visible as a bold print or as a subtle detail  on many of the pieces of clothing and accessories. The stripes on his clothing and accessories became an easily recognisable symbol around the world for Paul Smith.
