| Unlike any
other fashion designer at work today, Paul Smith has
managed to combine a flair for eccentric, subversive
detail, a dedication to the highest standards of
craftsmanship, and a business and marketing sense that
has made him simply the most successful designer in
British history. But this publication is not a fashion
monograph; it is not a catalogue of suits. Rather,
imagine Paul Smith's brain on a page: cleverly original
and often humorous thoughts and ideas, perfectly
executed, not just on the back of a man or a woman, but
in shop windows, in advertising campaigns, in toys,
photographs, and souvenirs brought back from travels
throughout the world that became the inspiration for the
look of a season. Words and images crash together in
striking contrast to reveal the passions and amusements
of a designer committed to both modesty in his pursuits
and stunning innovation. Designed by Alan Aboud, Art
Director for Paul Smith for more than a decade, and with
a slipcase designed by Jonathan Ive (famed designer of
the iMac), this publication will bring together
observations, images, and, in its own unique design and
production, all of the extraordinary qualities possessed
by Paul Smith himself. |
