Paul Smith Junior

The life of Paul Smith is a true saga: having suffered a bicycle accident at 17, his dreams of becoming a professional cyclist rode off with the night, but after meeting a young Pauline Denyer from the Royal College of Arts, he decided to venture into the world of international fashion. In 1976, Paul Smith presented his first eponymous collection in Paris. Striking a balance between chic cuts and shock colors, the collection was an eclectic mix of dandyism mixed with vibrant palettes. For boys, girls and babies, Paul Smith Junior plays on the same humorous designs that make Paul Smith’s adult collections recognizable. He uses his signature codes in his Mini-Me versions: a tribute to fashion city, Paul Smith boy's blouses, Paul Smith suits for boys, sober cuts, romanticism, psychedelic and fun prints.
