Paul Smith

When I decided to do a post about PS I asked a friend who was a fan "What do you like about Paul Smith?"

"He makes men look sexy? You want me to marry, dress a man up from head to toe in Paul Smith."

She's right, I don't even know where to begin with Paul. Everything I see is design genius, lovely balance, vibrant colours and just damn attractive man. Begin however, I must, and I shall start with; He originally wanted to become a racing cyclist. Until he got into an accident. Well boo for his cycling, yay for Fashion International.

As a side-job, he was working in a clothes factory for his father, and after the accident I suppose he began taking more interest in all thing fashionable and designable. So what is one to do? Well as I have discovered, the first thing is probably to, I donno, learn how to sew. Which. Is. Tough!
Step 2? Marry a fashion designer from a good art school and open a boutique. The rest, is Paul Smithory.

Paul Smith I tell you, is a designer to the max.

Paul Smith headphones, that my friend the Paul Smith fan will never get. Hey babe, you will never get this, you will never get this! Heh.

Aiyoh, now my heart is breaking. Doob, doob.

PS is the perfect example of somebody who studies lines, geometry, and the visual design of something to create simple, genius creations that are totally classic and totally a reflection of our times at the same time.
