Episode description

In Episode 2 of Season 2, Suzy is joined by Paul Smith who’s celebrating 50 years in fashion. Smith reveals the plans for his anniversary, and how - with his wife Pauline - he has built the Paul Smith label over half a century.

Sir Paul, knighted by the Queen of England in 2000, opens his soul in the conversation, revealing his wisdom - showing how he built his entire fashion empire, root to branch, over the last five decades. His company was founded in one tiny store in Nottingham and has grown into a global business in five continents.

Smith takes Suzy through the layers of quirky objects and funky toy animals sent to his London studio by his doting clients. There is probably a bicycle buried somewhere among the lines of books!
