One of the most prolific and sought after British designer for men’s wear is Sir Paul Smith who celebrates his sixty-sixth birthday today.

He tells Vogue.co.uk, “As a special birthday treat, I am having an early supper with my wife’s grandchildren which I am really looking forward to. I’m not a big fan of my birthday, so I never have a party or anything big so going for a nice dinner is just the way I like to spend it.”

Whew!
