Since his early childhood, legendary fashion designer Paul Smith was dreaming to become a cyclist. But a serious accident put an end to his dream at the age of 17. Although, the designer kept an intact passion for cycling, a sport that will inspire and influence his work in retailing since 1970, year of his first boutique opening in Nottingham. Today and for the first time, this passion is put on paper with the Maison’s new book « Mon album du cyclisme » featuring Paul Smith’s impressive cycling-tees collection, images from specialized press of Tour de France during the 1950s and every Paul Smith design dedicated to the discipline. Published by Arthaud Editions, the new Paul Smith’s book creates an everlasting relationship between the two passions of Sir Paul Smith: cycling and tailoring.
