Paul Smith Clothes

Paul Smith Clothes General Information

Paul Smith’s introduction into fashion was completely accidental. Aged eighteen years and
without qualifications or career intentions, his father took him in hand and marched him off
to the local Clothes warehouse where he was employed as a gofer. It was here that his
interest in Clothes and fashion developed. By the time he was twenty he was managing the
first boutique in his native Nottingham.
In 1970 he opened his own shop with a few hundred pounds savings. It was very small and
only opened on the busy days of Friday and Saturday. This left the rest of the week free to
work at other things and earn enough money to build up the business. The shop was the
only one outside London to stock designers such as Kenzo and Margaret Howell. It also
stocked early Paul Smith - but not yet under the Paul Smith label; shirts, trousers and
jackets that Paul made in nearby workrooms. He took evening classes at the local
polytechnic and, with the help of his girlfriend, Pauline Denyer, an RCA graduate in fashion,
Paul was able to create more of what he wanted for his own shop. By 1974 the shop,
originally a room off an alley, had extended onto the main street. It was now a full time
venture.
By 1976 Paul was acting as a consultant to an Italian shirt manufacturer and to the
International Wool Secretariat. At this point he decided to go it alone and showed his first
collection in Paris under the Paul Smith label.
Today Paul Smith has eight shops in London, one in Manchester, one in New York, one in
Paris, five in Hong Kong, two in Singapore, four in Taiwan, one in Manila, the original shop
in Nottingham and over two hundred shops in Japan.
Paul Smith Limited remains self-financed. The annual worldwide turnover of the wholesale,
retail and licensed business is £233 million.
