Paul Smith's Cycling Scrapbook
If not for a crash in his teens, fashion designer Paul Smith might have been a cyclist. His boutique emerged after his racing aspirations ended due to injury. Sir Paul Smith, a UK design leader, nurtured his cycling affinity. He designed the maglia rosa, Giro d'Italia's pink jersey, in 2013, sanctified by Pope Francis I. The scrapbook captures his cycling world adoration, from jerseys and vintage publications to inspirations like Coppi and Anquetil. Collaborations with bike-makers, friendships with stars, and his love for design meld in a visual journey. It's not just sport but an insight into design's roots in passion.
