Sir Paul Smith is an English fashion designer. We spoke with him from his office about our show at Webster Hall and afterparty at The Standard East Village, cheese sandwiches, 5 am swimming, cycling through Claridge's, how he does Christmas, the pyramids, Volkswagen beetles, why he's big in Japan, there wasn't much fashion to be had when he started, working with The Stones, online dating and working from home, and how many socks he sells per year.
