Paul Smith 50th Anniversary

Since opening his first boutique in 1970, Paul Smith has become an icon of British tailoring. This year, the legendary designer marks fifty years in fashion with an anniversary line that celebrates the history of his namesake brand. Drawing from a series of surrealist prints made in 1995, Smith applies offbeat graphic patterns—featuring green apples and bowls of spaghetti—to shoulder bags, T-shirts, and iPhone cases, adding personality to these modern staples. A potpourri of floral patterns infuse streetwise zip-up jackets and relaxed track pants with a dash of rococo flair. Year after year, Paul Smith charms his audience with playful reinterpretations of classic menswear, presented with signature panache and an eye for detail.
