FOUNTAIN PEN IN PURPLE LACQUER---STERLING SILVER APPOINTMENTS (NIB SIZE IS F) Fine Nib Paul Smith, the fashion designer renowned for his idiosyncratic take on British styling, lends his design charm to the writing instrument. The British-based fashion designer renowned for his "classics with a twist" fell into fashion by accident. After his initial dream of becoming a professional racing cyclist ended in a severe cycling accident at the age of 17, Paul Smith was propelled by his father into a job at the clothing warehouse in his native Nottingham. The connections he made with people from the local art college sparked his interest in art and fashion and by 1970 he was ready to open his first boutique. By 1976 he showed his first collection in Paris under the Paul Smith label. Back in the 1960s Paul Smith described himself as being "okay at design and okay at business but exceptional at neither". He has since become Britain's most consistently successful fashion designer with products sold in over 200 shops, some of which are located in London, Paris, Milan, New York, Hong Kong, Tokyo; he has 500 wholesale customers in Japan alone, where his label out-sells every other European designer.
