Following the success of Paul Smith’s London Design Museum show in 1995, the Design Council arranged for the ‘True Brit’ exhibition to tour Japan. Jim wrote the sold-out book of the show, which is now a collector’s item. It explores Sir Paul’s background and influences, and examines how he came to reinvent contemporary menswear in the 1980s and beyond. The original text appears in English and Japanese, and was later republished in ‘You Can Find Inspiration In Anything...’, Paul’s lavish and extraordinarily designed biography.
