Sir Paul Smith's design  playing with stereotypes of ‘Britishness’ such as floral designs, cricket jumpers and stripes, Smith brings them into the realm of fashion with playful touches of detail. Often this will be interpreted in the detail of suit linings by making them floral in design and brightly patterned or making each shirt button a different colour.
