he's such a gem of a person, worked at his office for a short while and the few times we crossed paths he was nothing but kind and genuine

That's beautiful. His spirit seems quite childlike yet refined at the same time. Awesome to know he's as cool as he seems in this lil film. Idk how I even found these videos...but I LOVE THEM.

I worked for Paul Smith years ago. He was my introduction to art, design and a life less ordinary. I will alway thank him for that!

This man is clearly a lovely and charming person, love to hear him talking about everything

@@wordwarrior2350, by reading all of your comments on this page, you come across as a very unhappy person who attempts to find fault with everyone and everything.

it is so refreshing to know a man who doesn`t need an influencer, a consultant or an advisor to tell him what to like, what to buy and how to live. and yes, people should buy art that pleases them and stop following the market "gurus" and their nonsense.

This is what a real art collector is like

As a teenager I saved up my money so I could buy a Paul Smith blouse! So original and cool.

I ran into him in a museum in the city of Leiden in 2019. He approached me, asked me to help him download the museum’s application from the AppStore. I obliged, he thanked me for saving an old man, asked me what I thought of the art piece in front of us, we talked for almost half an hour, and we then parted ways. I didn’t even know who he was, until he thanked me for wearing his clothing designs. I didn’t even know what “Paul Smith” is, as the clothes were a gift from a former French lover of mine. Oh gosh, I was so embarrassed hahaha 🤣 and he was unbelievingly kind, down to earth, and both interesting and easy to talk to.

What an inspirational life to share and thrive with a loved one.

What a nice man

I like the way he thinks, IF HE LIKES HE IS BUYING IT...

Lovely dude

I know Paul Smith... he used to go to Forte dei Marmi. He's a cool person. 👍

Mr. Smith KNOWS HIS ARTISTS! Very interesting collection! Hes not looking at the figures. Hes not a greedy person. I like that.

I always like Paul Smith

Now THIS is a collector!

Paul has collections of many lovely and interesting things.........and much whimsey, too. Yes.

I love Paul Smith design. I have bought many of his clothes and accessories over the years. Refined with a daring note and always elegant. Nice to see the man has also a very genuine personality.

What a wonderful interview. I didn't want it to end.

I could watch him and his wonderful collection all day. So knowledgeable and passionate

A tasteful hoarder.

pamplemousse No, he is a collector, driven first by sight and attraction. HE chooses not to call HIMSELF a collector, based on HIS view and experience. In the 'storing' of his likes, he just has a very common "archival system". It's called, "find a place for it in that room where everything is." I would challenge learning more about the world, and that the trap of applying knee-jerk popular culture labels, is to miss the substance that just might be worth paying attention to, beyond surface reaction. There is always a lot more to people when one takes the time. As the gentleman pointed out, at a young age, his father gave him a camera... What did he say that taught him?

Wow....just wow!!!

Nicely presented .. I guess this extensive collection serves as a gigantic mood board for Sir Paul Smith’s wonderful creations.

very true. collect the art that brings you joy. ♥

Indeed

Genuine and humble Artist

I buy old frames in the charity shop and fill them with old labels, post cards, dried leaves , collage anything really and it all goes together. People are generally afraid of being judged on their taste, so fuck judgement, just do it ,,, Love Paul ,,, I see him in Paris on his bike ,,, just a 'bloke' .

I guess if you buy actual art that would be even more interesting to collect

Forever fabulous!

Wonderful to have a glimpse of Paul Smith’s creative life. Thank you.

Immediately attracted to Paul Smith's panache and aesthetic. Phenomenal designer and interesting to see a little more about what he finds cool.

Lots of art , love those!!!

Love the clothes and shoes he designs, very talented

I would love to spend 1 hour in his studio.....better than being in a museum. One could only wish. It would be a dream come true actually.

You can’t compare that art with a museum

Love it! I really like covering walls with stuff, memorabilia, art what ever

Brilliant. Buy it because YOU like it. A true collector. Thank you for this. . . .

What a delightful gentleman!! I needed something upbeat today - thank you!

Love, Sir Paul and his stories.

Love his designs! Superbly quirky. Wonderful bloke.

I idolize this guy and it's nice to see he reminds my of myself.

A beautiful and amazing show. My thanks, appreciation and respect.

You have a very nice collection and i agree collect what you like and show your personality.

Love to see a Paul smith museum and the way he collects is awesome,buy what you like

Very very very clever beautifully arrange

Lovely collection x

Stupendous collection Paul

I like the art that you collect and how you choose it.

Wow an amazing collection

Wow, lots of wisdom In his words

I agree. You buy art because "you" like it and it speaks to you. Yes, sometime the gas bill will be a month late; but, don't you just enjoy the piece immensely. Lucky you.

Such a wonderful personality!

This was just an absolute pleasure to watch.

Wonderful, absolutely wonderful and fascinating.

One of my favorite designers! Doesn't surprise me he has such a vast, colorful and unusual collection from so many years and acquaintances. Such a nice pleasant person too. I hope to get to meet him someday!

always loved Paul Smith since am a teen.

Simply Beautiful.

Art is to be a gift.

Loved it !

I like his personality

I like space around things . Without space you are distracted.

Absolutely agree with him...collect only the pieces that you are passionate about!

nice enthusiastic energy

He is so sweet and happy

Best!!! loved it!!! reminds me of my studio!!

Well done Paul!

Amazing!!

I never feel more confident and happy and comfortable than when I'm wearing my Paul Smith suit.

Thank you so much

Very inspiring interview. Thank You Sotheby's for making it. (I'm a bit late finding it.)

He makes great socks!

you bought the print...cool!

What an amazing place 👏👌

Really super collection amazing

Fascinating

Your art collection is sensible.

His LandRover is one of a kind !!!!

Beautiful interview. I will continue to buy his clothes

Very nice!

Collect art that God blesses & shews His genius.

He collects like I do, except he has much more money to do so. Love it!

an original & highly likeable ~~

love art

Excellent taste!!

Love the shirts

My homie Paul got invited to his store opening in LA.No celebrities or step and repeats in front.Just a private invite silk screened on balsa wood. Paul Smith was like hi my name is Paul and this is my store and my friend said my name is Paul too! I love that story.

cool...sharp and great structure

Well said Paul. Buy it because YOU LIKE IT. That is the right and correct way to collect art of any kind I think...Give that man a knighthood...

Without a Jim Overbeck drawing your collection has no masterpiece.

Marvellous. I love your clothes, Paul. I have a nice little capsule collection now. Wear your scarves every day - they keep me happy, optimistic and cheerful! Upbeat. You are a fantastic colourist. Sans pareil! I, too, collect pieces of much-loved art. But my late husband was a hoarder, and I have now downsized! Lovely film. Thanks for the clothes, dear Paul. Give me such great pleasure. You are my No.1 favourite designer in the world . I'm a published poet and artist.

He's a patron for art !!!

cool to see this.

Me quede con ganas de ver más, me encantó yo podría pasar el resto de mi vida en esa colección.

fascinating!

Wow...amazing..would live to visit your home

awesome

I too meet all 5 criteria in the DSM-5, for being an art hoarder.

Love him

Nice!
