Paul's New Shop

Paul Smith is opening a new shop on Beak Street in London later this year and said on his blog, "I'd love you to be involved in decorating it. People from all over the world send me all sorts of extraordinary things in the post from hand-knitted blankets to cycling jerseys, always in beautifully customised envelopes. If you send an envelope to Paul Smith, Beak Street you might find it featuring in the shop when we open this summer. All envelopes should be sent to the address below before 27th May, and be sure to include a return address inside. Thanks for your help!"

Research into Paul's Style

After doing a bit of research into Paul Smith's work, and viewing his online site... One of the first things that struck me was an image of one of his jackets that appeared on the main page, it had big statement buttons on the front of it, I also found that there is always a small hint of his signature stripe somewhere on his work. this gave me an idea for my envelope design!

 

 

This is the image of his jacket with the statement buttons on it.

 

 

This is an example image of Paul's signature stripe, and also his logo.
