Paul Smith Clothing in Leeds
Tuesday, November 20th, 2007
Paul Smith is pleased to announce the opening of his first shop in Leeds, situated in the North of England. Located in the historic Victorian Quarter, the shop will stock all the main Men’s and Women’s collections throughout its three floors.
“Leeds is a special place to me because all my first tailoring was made there by a factory called Atkinson Rhodes, which sadly no longer exists. Leeds as a city was so much the heart of the textile and manufacturing industry, I am pleased to have a shop there especially in the historic Victorian Quarter. The shop will house an eclectic mix; clothes, objects, gifts and collectibles.†Paul Smith, 2007
Apparently Gucci is working with Madonna to raise funds for orphans in Malawi, where the pop singer has been trying to adopt a child since last year. Gucci will host a fund-raising event with dinner, a musical performance and a party on 6th February 2008 to mark the opening of Gucci’s largest store in the world, on New York’s Fifth Avenue, co-hosted by Madonna.
The eagerly awaited Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show at the Kodak Theater was by all accounts a big success. Not only did frustrated old geezers get an opportunity to clock a bunch of birds in skimpy lingerie but there was some interesting performances by the Spice Girls, performing onstage for the first time in 10 years, as well as Seal and Will.i.am, opening in place of Kanye West, who withdrew after his mother’s passing, and a few others.
