Paul Smith


Paul Smith.

b.1946.



Nottingham it starts for Paul,

no thoughts of fashion at all.

Leaving school at fifteen years,

not outshining his academic peers.



Cycling his preferred game

a yellow jersey and fame.

This dream was soon dashed

when bicycle and he crashed.



A lengthy spell hospitalised,

cycling pondered, agonised.

friendly with students in art

Paul makes a fresh start.



Studying design at night school

opening a boutique staying cool.

Behind the scenes a crash course

an enthusiastic dark horse.



Pattern making and tailoring

a keen grounding in everything.

A Paris show with some success

the British look acquiesced .



Now a famous man worldwide

a leader and fashion guide.

Conventional with a twist

many thousands can't resist.
