Paul Smith at Broadway Cinema Nottingham

Sir Paul Smith returns to the city of his birth for a special event at Nottingham’s Broadway Cinema, a stone’s throw from the site of his original boutique.

From leaving school at fifteen with undiagnosed dyslexia to a life-changing accident that would end one dream and begin another, Sir Paul’s journey has been anything but conventional. A meeting on his twenty-first birthday with the woman who became the love of his life and his immersion in the exciting new world of the 80s London art and fashion scene would set him on a path towards building the global fashion empire he has today.

Threads is the story of a truly unique British icon and of how a young boy from a modest upbringing in Nottingham, guided by his father’s lasting message of hard work and repairing everything by hand, became a symbol of innovation and creativity.
