Sir Paul Smith, RDI, (born in Beeston, Nottingham on July 5, 1946) is an English fashion designer, whose business and reputation is founded upon his menswear. He is both commercially successful and highly respected within the fashion industry.

Smith was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 2001, after nearly three decades as a menswear icon. His collections of clothing and accessories for both men and women are usually identified by the presence of Smith's signature multi-coloured pinstripe motif somewhere on each item.

Paul Smith is credited with introducing a number of trends within the realms of fashion and 'lifestyle' including the revival of boxer shorts and of the Filofax in the early 1980s.

Paul Smith is probably best known as the founder and manager of Blast First, the British alternative record label that released artists such as Sonic Youth, the Butthole Surfers, Big Black and Dinosaur Jr. in the UK. He continued to manage the artists and work in the music industry when Blast First was bought by Mute Records. Now he runs the very small label "Blast First Petite" on which he releases stuff that was refused by Mute's Blast First. So he now has an exclusive contract with Pan Sonic. He is also known in subcultural circles as the man behind King Mob/Disobey, and the occasional Club Disobey underground art events in London. In 2002 he produced a multimedia performance event at the Barbican to mark the release of Iain Sinclair's book London Orbital. The event featured a diverse range of artists from the literary and music worlds including J.G. Ballard and Bill Drummond. blank">http://books.guardian.co.uk/review/story/0,,813739,00.html

Paul Smith (born March 13, 1979), from Billingham, in the Borough of Stockton-on-Tees, is the singer for British indie group Maxïmo Park. Smith is the oldest of three children and briefly worked as an art teacher at Stockton Sixth Form College before he was asked to join the band. He wears a varied amount of hats and noteably it is his trademark. Before Smith was recruited to Maxïmo Park they were a four-piece band on the verge of splitting up. Bassist Archis Tiku was originally going to be lead singer, but revealed to the band that he had no intention of being its frontman. Smith was discovered by the then-girlfriend of drummer Tom English in a pub while he was singing along to a Stevie Wonder's "Superstition". Providing the band with a stage presence, Smith began to write songs with the group, despite never imagining himself as the frontman of a band. Smith had never sung on stage beforehand. He was thrown out of the school choir, supposedly because he was afraid to sing solo. He can also play the guitar.

Smith's on-stage behaviour is noted as being a little odd - particularly his dancing, pointing and handchops whilst singing. Some have compared him to Morrissey and Jarvis Cocker. On stage he is also noted for his humour in between songs.

Paul Smith did a part on MTV Cribs in 2006, in which he did not show his home, but a villa in Ibiza, in which Maxïmo Park were staying.

In 2007 he made a cover of "Apply Some Pressure" with Mark Ronson.

In 2007 his A-level Art self portrait project was auctioned off for charity by Stockton Sixth Form College.

Paul Christopher Richard Smith (born 14 February 1959 in Woking, England) is a television executive.

Paul is a BBC executive who has worked for the corporation for 27 years. In that time, he has worked mainly on programming and services aimed at young people and children. He is also responsible for finding and/or developing many of the names presenting on mainstream television in the UK, and is best known amongst his colleagues as a champion of new talent and as an easy going innovator who is not scared to try new ideas.

Paul has worked extensively with and developed talent like Zoë Ball, Jayne Middlemiss, Andi Peters, Phillip Schofield, Jamie Theakston, Richard McCourt/Dominic Wood (aka Dick and Dom), Kristian Digby, Josie D'Arby, Joe Mace, and Vernon Kay at early stages in their careers.

Paul can be said to have invented the genre of 'wraparound' children's TV presentation in the UK, having developed the current format in the early 1980s from the old Children's BBC Broom Cupboard format. This has been used by many other channels including CITV, Nick, and in a slightly older form, as T4 on Channel 4, which was started by one of Paul's protegés, Andi Peters.

Whilst at CBBC, Paul started using live animation techniques developed in Denmark to make innovative programming like The Nelly Nut Show, and Paul also lead the development of the BAFTA-winning Dick and Dom in da Bungalow, being executive producer for the first 150 episodes of the show. Aside from his 'serious' work, Paul was also the hand behind popular puppet Gordon the Gopher who starred alongside Phillip Schofield and Sarah Greene on BBC Saturday morning show Going Live!.
