Teacake Hero - Paul Smith

At Teacake we're always on the look out for things that inspire us and we were thrilled when we heard about the Design Museum's latest exhibition about fashion designer and Teacake favourite, Paul Smith.

Hello, My name is Paul Smith (15th November 2013 - 9th March 2014) takes you into the world of the iconic fashion designer, '...a world of creation, inspiration, collaboration, wit and beauty'. Celebrating his career the exhibition references Paul's influences and designs, '...charting the rise of this quintessentially British label which has become one of the leading fashion brands in the world' .(designmuseum.org).

What are you waiting for?

Paul Smith x 6a architects

We love Paul Smith's new Mayfair shop designed by 6a architects. The store boasts a cast iron panel exterior incorporating some of Paul's own doodles with an interior that includes a wall within the shoe department covered with 26,000 dominoes. We can't wait to visit.

Alfred Wainwright

Alfred Wainwright (1907-1991)born in Blackburn, Lancashire will always be known for his famous Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells which he compiled between 1952 and 1966. These handwritten and hand-drawn works of art have given inspiration to all true fellwalkers for the past forty years. For this labour of love, as he called it, he was awarded the MBE. His seven-volume Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells, published between 1955 and 1966 and consisting entirely of reproductions of his manuscript, has become the standard reference work to 214 of the fells of the English Lake District.
