Paul Smith | 'Paul Smith Marunouchi Shop' Opens: Paul Smith Interview Gallery

<strong>Paul Smith</strong>: "This is a tree-lined street near the Palais Royal, taken with a digital camera when I was in Paris for a menswear show."
<strong>Paul Smith</strong>: "When I saw the green facade of the Marunouchi shop from the car, I couldn't help but exclaim, 'Fantastic!'"
<strong>Paul Smith</strong>: "If you look closely at the photo of the tree-lined street, you'll see three pieces of litter, but I'm not a professional, you know (laughs)."
<strong>Paul Smith</strong>: "My father was an amateur photographer, and we had a darkroom in our attic. I grew up watching him, which is how I came to love photography."
<strong>Paul Smith</strong>: "I chose green because it complements the orange of the adjacent Hermès store without clashing – it's a color that doesn't fight."
<strong>Paul Smith</strong>: "My theme when creating shops now is to design various distinct rooms."
<strong>Paul Smith</strong>: "The entrance and accessory area have a bright, modern feel that's inviting."
<strong>Paul Smith</strong>: "The second room is a funky space inspired by Russian graphics, which I've been fond of recently."
<strong>Paul Smith</strong>: "The third room is a space where you can leisurely select dresses."
<strong>Paul Smith</strong>: "Fashion is something that is both social and personal."
