20th Anniversary Special Items Reflecting Paul Smith's Daily Life



Paul Smith is also renowned as a collector of art. His boundless curiosity and interests, which began with his first purchased poster as a teenager, extend to works by acclaimed artists and photographers such as David Hockney, Grayson Perry, and Bruce Weber, as well as pieces by emerging artists and unknown students. These serve as the wellspring for his work at "Paul Smith," constantly surprising and delighting us.

As exemplified by the "Inside Out Suit," inspired by Andy Warhol and reissued for this 20th anniversary, and the "Bunny Rogers Suit," designed with inspiration from Bunny Rogers' wardrobe, his eye for art is not concerned with fame, obscurity, or societal value and reputation. What matters is whether it resonates with his heart. There is a certain story within it, art that is an extension of his daily life, and through it, one can feel his philosophy and message.

This beautifully resonates with the clothing and accessories expressed as the Paul Smith Collection.






The 20th anniversary special accessory items, launched on April 10th, also embody Mr. Smith's artistic perspective and message. The lineup includes items that are not only for fans but also noteworthy as sophisticated lifestyle goods.

Graphics featuring a monogram from 1 to 20, interspersed with motifs chosen by Mr. Smith that evoke art and Britain.
These prints, along with mugs featuring similar motifs, jacquard ties and belts adorned with the 20th-anniversary crest mark, and wallets and tote bags with playful graphic prints on the inside, are truly splendid and exclusive to 2010 and the 20th anniversary. We highly recommend seeing them in person at the store.
