Paul Smith regularly takes inspiration from his travels but for his latest collection, shown in Paris on Wednesday afternoon, he stuck a little closer to home.
The amateur photography collection of his dad, Harold B Smith, served as his starting point. Guests entered the venue through a mocked-up dark room complete with buckets of emulsion, strung-up negatives and a stainless steel sink. A booklet featuring some of the work of Smith senior, a founding member of the Beeston camera club in Nottinghamshire, was left on each seat.
