From A- Z
PAUL SMITH is writing a
new book - an A-Z of his life story, from his inspirations and unique approach
to design, to his favourite bands and his relationship with his father.
"I was being filmed for a documentary by French company Arte and
they originally wanted to make a small booklet to go in with the DVD,"
Smith told us today. "When they started talking and visited my London
studio they realised they could make it into a simple book instead. It is
really the idea of ABC - A is for Abbey Road - a little story about each letter
along with my photographs taken over various years and in different
locations."
The VOGUE.COM blogger and British Fashion Award Outstanding
Achievement winner's debut book features 200 pages of
insights into his world, with 300 pictures - including notes, scribbles,
sketches and personal photographs. The tome will be available to buy from May
this year.
