Paul Smith had to face a serious accident while riding on his bike which broke the dream of becoming a professional racing-cyclist. This accident has compelled him to change his mind from becoming a racing cyclist to take interest in other profession of life like fashion. Born in 1946 in Nottingham, Smith established a store in his hometown in 1970 and started selling his early designs that showed the kinds of clothing he loved but not buy at some other places. He started attending evening classes for fashion designs and continuously working with his wife, Pauline Denyer who has passed his graduation in 1976 at the Royal College of Arts, and exhibiting the full range of male collection in Paris.
