THREADS: MY LIFE IN STYLE

Book ID/图书代码： 03540026C00005

English Summary/英文概要： From a Nottingham alleyway to a global empire, Threads is the story of a truly unique British fashion icon.

‘I always say that you can find inspiration in everything. And if you can’t, look again’ – Sir Paul Smith

Sir Paul’s journey has been anything but conventional: from leaving school at fifteen with a dream of being a professional racing cyclist to a life-altering accident that would change everything. After meeting the love of his life and immersing himself in the exciting new world of the 1960s London art and fashion scene, he would go on to build a global fashion empire that started off as a tiny shop tucked behind a dark, damp corridor in Nottingham.

For the first time, and with his signature wit, Paul shares candid memories of a life in style, including what it was like to dress legends including David Bowie, Daniel Day-Lewis and Sir Alex Ferguson; how he fought to keep his brand independent in a world of globalized homogeneity; and why, after five decades of success, you can still find him on the shopfloor every Saturday meeting his customers.

Guided by his father’s advice of working hard and repairing everything by hand, Threads is more than a fashion memoir. It is a masterclass in how to stay curious, stay independent and always look for the extraordinary in the everyday.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 保羅爵士的人生旅程絕非尋常：十五歲輟學，夢想成為職業自行車賽車手，一場改變人生的意外徹底顛覆了他的一切。在邂逅摯愛並投身於上世紀六十年代倫敦充滿活力的藝術和時尚圈後，他最終打造了一個全球時尚帝國，而這一切最初只是諾丁漢一條陰暗潮濕走廊後隱藏的一家小店。

保羅首次以他標誌性的幽默，坦誠地分享了他時尚生涯中的點點滴滴，包括為大衛·鮑伊、丹尼爾·戴-路易斯 (Daniel Day-Lewis)和亞歷克斯·弗格森爵士等傳奇人物設計服裝的經歷；他如何在全球化同質化的世界中捍衛品牌的獨立性；以及為何在事業成功五十年後，他仍然堅持每週六出現在店裡。

秉承父親「努力工作，親力親為」的教誨，《Threads》不僅僅是一部時尚回憶錄。這是一堂關於如何保持好奇心、保持獨立性以及在日常生活中不斷發現非凡之處的大師級課程。
