Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. 'You've never really made it in fashion. Nobody cares how good you used to be. It's about today and tomorrow.'Describing his journey from leaving school at fifteen with undiagnosed dyslexia to his life-changing accident that would end his dream of becoming a racing cyclist, Sir Paul's journey has been anything but conventional. From his immersion in the strange new world of the 60s London art scene to meeting the love of his life, Pauline, who would set him on a path towards building the global fashion empire. After fifty years of continual trading, Paul still goes to his shopfloor every Saturday to meet customers.Filled with his signature wit, warmth and eccentric flair, Paul takes us from the humble beginnings of his first tiny shop in a Nottingham alleyway - tucked behind a dark, damp corridor - to opening his first shop on Floral Street. His stories of dressing rock stars, actors, and athletes and designing identical black suits for David Bowie's four-piece band gives us a unique perspective on British fashion, art, music culture in the last half century.Threads is the story of a truly unique British icon whose company went global and how a young boy from a modest upbringing in Nottingham, guided by his father's lasting message of hard work and repairing everything by hand, became a symbol of innovation and creativity. In Threads, Sir Paul Smith shares the full story of his extraordinary life and career for the first time.

Hardback. Condizione: New. From a Nottingham alleyway to a global empire, Threads is the story of a truly unique British fashion icon.'I always say that you can find inspiration in everything. And if you can't, look again' - Sir Paul SmithSir Paul's journey has been anything but conventional: from leaving school at fifteen with a dream of being a professional racing cyclist to a life-altering accident that would change everything. After meeting the love of his life and immersing himself in the exciting new world of the 1960s London art and fashion scene, he would go on to build a global fashion empire that started off as a tiny shop tucked behind a dark, damp corridor in Nottingham.For the first time, and with his signature wit, Paul shares candid memories of a life in style, including what it was like to dress legends including David Bowie, Daniel Day-Lewis and Sir Alex Ferguson; how he fought to keep his brand independent in a world of globalized homogeneity; and why, after five decades of success, you can still find him on the shopfloor every Saturday meeting his customers.Guided by his father's advice of working hard and repairing everything by hand, Threads is more than a fashion memoir. It is a masterclass in how to stay curious, stay independent and always look for the extraordinary in the everyday.'Nobody does it like Paul.

He is an inspiring creative who loves his practice, art, culture and, most importantly, people. His kindness, optimism and generosity are manifest in all he creates' -Sir Jony Ive, designer'Reading this is like spending time with someone you wished you had known forever.
