Paul Smith

This innovative coffee table book chronicles the unique spirit of British fashion icon Sir Paul Smith through 50 objects that Sir Paul himself has chosen for the inspiration they have given him over the years - from a wax plate of spaghetti and a Dieter Rams radio to a Mario Bellini Cab chair and a bicycle saddle.

Each object has influenced his worldview, his creative process and his adherence to a design approach always steeped in distinctly British humor and eccentricity. The book covers such diverse topics as breaking down the formality of wearing a suit, the importance of humor and the benefits of remaining independent in an increasingly monopolized world. The book includes personal contributions - handwritten notes, a sketch or photograph - from such fashion and design heavyweights as Manolo Blahnik, Inès de la Fressange, Martin Parr and John Pawson.

Updated with a fresh new fabric cover featuring the brand's signature stripe and a brand new foreword written by Sir Paul especially for this edition, Paul Smith offers the ultimate insight into one of fashion's most beloved designers.
