Description
This is a description of the career of British designer Paul Smith. After a serious injury forced him to consider other options, Smith became serious about his work at a clothing warehouse. This led to an opportunity at a boutique, which encouraged him to open his own shop in 1970. With the support of his girlfriend, Smith enrolled in night classes to improve his tailoring skills. By 1976, Smith was working as a consultant to an Italian shirt manufacturer as well as to the International Wool Secretariat. It was also the same year he introduced his first menswear collection in Paris. Gradually, Smith built his business over the years and is known for his personal touch - he still advises and oversees each division of his business and has input as to the operation of his shops. Paul Smith Ltd currently has over 225 shops and concessions, of which over 200 are in Japan, where the Paul Smith line is highly regarded. In conjunction with Inter Parums Inc., Paul Smith launched his first self-titled women's perfume and men's cologne in 2000.
