What Were You Thinking?

Shatter the myth Paul Smith

Designer. Curator. Living legend. Sir Paul Smith shares the highs and lows from his fashion journey which spans 50 years this year. What was the first collection he showed at Fashion Week like? How did he feel going to Chanel shows in the presence of Coco Chanel? Has the thought of retiring ever crossed his mind? Sir Paul talks us through the unique dilemma of deciding what to wear when you’re getting knighted in the morning and married in the afternoon, David Bowie giving customers in his store the shock of their lives and the art of being a collector (we didn’t say hoarder, okay).  Check out our Instagram to see the looks we discuss @whatwereyouthinkingpodcast and follow us on Twitter and TikTok @WWYT_podcastSee <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.

A personal billboard to the outside world, fashion really can reflect a much wider personal story than is often told. The clothes we choose to wear help to reveal the story of our lives. Join Henry Holland on a sartorial journey like no other where he speaks to ICONIC guests about the looks that changed their lives and the stories behind them.
