The show is very Portsmouth. Putting classics together in a way that's a bit irreverent. Odd sometimes. Playful.

Key Quotes (1)

“The joy of having the archive with its 5,000 pieces of clothing is that my young design team visit there regularly and come back with great enthusiasm of things they found there because their fresh eyes then give me energy, make me see things in a new way. And after 55 years in this job, that is such a joy.”

About Paul Smith

Paul Smith, founder and chairman of Paul Smith Holdings, appeared in several interviews and campaigns in September 2026, around his 80th birthday and more than 50 years in business. In a Videofashion Designers episode, he discussed his entry into fashion after a cycling accident, his early menswear focus, and his current work re-energizing the company with a new young team. He also spoke about the challenges of running shops globally, citing high rents and the removal of VAT duty-free shopping as factors affecting retail, and expressed a view that British fashion has lacked consistent government support. In an interview with the BBC, Smith reflected on his career, noting that he remains self-financed and the boss of his personal business, which he said comes from the heart rather than being backed by shareholders. He described his daily routine of swimming at 5:30 a.m. and arriving at work by 6 a.m., and said he wore a suit every day during COVID lockdowns. He also discussed his use of rubber chickens as a communication tool in Japan, his design work beyond clothing including bikes, watches, and spectacles, and his advice to students to grow slowly and patiently. Additionally, he appeared in a promotional campaign for a third collaboration with Barbour, titled "Paul Smith loves Barbour: A Highland Odyssey," and participated in a conversation with actor Peter Capaldi at the FT Weekend Festival about fashion, creativity, and Capaldi's Doctor Who costume.
