Paul Smith has established himself as a leading and uniquely British designer. He is renowned for his creative spirit, which combines tradition and modernity. Famous for its clothing and accessories collections, Paul Smith specialises in an inventive use of traditional craftsmanship and cutting edge design to create beautifully made, desirable modern pieces. Paul Smith has collaborated with many brands to design things such as cameras, rugs, water bottles etc whilst putting his own style to it.
Having visited his exhibition I found out a lot about him and what he does, the collaboration he does with other brands is very inspiring. It made me realise that that could also be a good way to gain exposure of himself and gain income.
Below are some pics I took of the exhibition and put in my sketchbook: his collection was interesting and unusual too, like he would have a shark teeth inspired print on a shirt.
I took pictures of his catwalk invites etc, it was interesting to see his invites especially since my last project I researched into them. The exhibition also included a small room of his workspace as you can see in the bottom picture. This was all very interesting as it displays what his life is about.
Below, is his collaborations that he has done with other brands. I noticed they all incorporated his trademark stripes and multicoloured patterns. I think they represented his positive personality and it was so people would instantly know who designed it. I find the collaboration between designers and brands is very interesting. I especially liked his collaboration with Evian where he designed a glass bottle with multicoloured stripes going across the bottle.
