Situated in the famous British Claridges hotel the boutique will sell a carefully chosen selection of catwalk pieces, shoes, bags and accessories, some of which will be exclusive to the store.

With vertically striped pink walls, 1930's Italian Murano chandeliers and tiered tables, expect a décor inspired by Claridge's own elegant aesthetic.

'I have been a big fan of the hotel for many years and have held several women's shows there in the ballroom,' says Paul. '

'It's original Art Deco style really appeals to me so having this shop is very special to me.'

Paul Smith, 49 Brook Street, is opening on 17th September, to coincide with the start of London Fashion Week.
