Sir Paul Smith and
Priya Ahluwalia represent the two poles of British fashion – established and emerging, behemoth and bright young thing. Yet opposites can attract: the pair have formed a supportive relationship based around their similar approach to their chosen profession. Their distinctive brands are built upon a simple, shared premise: clothes should be fun to wear.
It is well known that Smith, born in Beeston, just a few miles from Nottingham, grew up with aspirations of becoming a cyclist but, following an accident and three months in hospital, decided to try his luck in the clothes-making trade instead. In 1970, he opened his first shop in that city; now, with 132 Paul Smith stores in more than 60 countries, and a knighthood for services to British fashion, the septuagenarian designer is an international household name, lauded for his fusion of tradition and modernity.
