Paul Smith (Born Nottingham, England in 1947) is a British fashion designer. He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II after decades of success as a menswear icon. Known for his signature multi-colored stripes, Paul Smith has been a staple of high end mens clothing for many years. Paul Smith designs clothes and accessories for both men and women but, at least in terms of mens' clothes, caters largely for men of a tall, slim build - a niche in the mens' market that very few high street designers make particular effort to fill. Apart from his multi-coloured stripes, Paul Smith has created waves in the fashion world with his "naked lady" designs - pictures of a naked lady "hidden" inside cuffs and inside wallets, for example.

Smith only took up Fashion design after been injured in a cycling accident. He set up the first Paul Smith shop in Nottingham with his then girlfriend, now wife Pauline.
