Congratulations to Paul Smith for his storied 50-year fashion career.
Once a racing cyclist, the British designer has used his boundless imagination, perseverance, business-savvy — and sheer sense of fun — to create a global fashion brand with sales of 250 million pounds a year. And it all began five decades ago with a tiny shop in Nottingham, England.
Having dedicated 50 years to building his business, he’s ready for more. Retiring is not part of the plan, and neither is selling his majority stake in the company. Itochu, his longtime Japanese licensee, owns a minority, and that’s just how Smith likes it.
