「在這個艱難時刻，我的心與台灣的你們同在！並獻上愛與祝福！」── Sir Paul Smith
新型冠狀病毒（COVID-19）疫情蔓延全球，身為時尚重鎮的歐美一線大城紛紛淪陷，導致時尚產業也受波及幾乎停擺。曾於 2017 年來台舉辦過展覽的英國服裝設計師 Paul Smith 老爺爺，在倫敦防疫的同時，想起 3 年前遊歷台灣的美好印象，特地親手自拍攝影片鼓勵我們，更親筆寫下給“TAIWAN”的祝福，令人備感窩心！

到訪過台灣的 Paul Smith，更特別為大家錄製了一段鼓勵影片還搭配手寫卡片！只見年近 75 歲高齡的頑童老爺爺，身處倫敦辦公室中，用微微顫抖的單手自拍，對著鏡頭說「哈囉大家好，我是 Paul，這是我在倫敦的辦公室。我拍這支影片是想跟台灣的各位問好，希望你們一切都好，並保持身體健康，相信一切都會好轉！以上是我來自倫敦的祝福，bye！」

在 Instagram 查看這則貼文Shop America is a book I’ve been inspired by since I first got my hands on it in 2007. It’s about mid-century shop fronts in America and is about the effect that post-war optimism had on creativity. A lot of the designs in the book are hand-illustrated and sketches, some of which became reality and others didn’t. After the horror of war there was this surge in futuristic style shop fronts which oozed personality and colour. It coincided with a similar trend in the automobile industry where there was this boom in popularity of oversized, space-age looking cars like Cadillacs. I wonder if we’ll see a version of this in creativity after the current global crisis. One page of the book that I particularly love is one that shows a jewellery store concept. Underneath the facade sketch is a detailed explanation of what the entrance doors are made from, designs for the jewellery display units and more. I love this level of detail. I may not use reference books like Shop America literally for inspiration but can often use them as resources for colour, scale, proportion, use of materials and much more. #findinspirationineverything #takenbyPaul

在 Instagram 查看這則貼文I’ve always been fascinated by the design of postage stamps. You can learn so much about the history of the place they represent or a particular moment in time from this tiny piece of creativity. I have quite a big collection of old stamps some kept in beautiful albums others in little stacks tied with string and kept in a tin box. A few season a go I took some inspiration from my stamp collection and created my own stamp designs which I collaged together and used for textile prints. #findinspirationineverything #takenbyPaul
