Sir Paul Smith awarded lifetime achievement
Written by Daniel P Dykes
British designer Sir Paul Smith, a staple for Rogue's everywhere, has been given a lifetime achievement award by the Royal Institute of British Architects.
The award is made to people who have made an outstanding contribution to art and design, something that Sir Paul, with his quirky-cum-traditional designs, has certainly done.
Smith told Vogue:' Receiving the honorary fellowship is a real honour. I am both shocked and delighted because the RIBA is an association that I really admire.'Source

Traditionalist and futurist are two of the labels applied to Daniel, but he sees the two as being in perfect balance. With a keen eye on the future and his finger on the pulse he helps keep fashionisers everywhere ahead in the fashion stakes as Fashionising.com's lead fashion trend analyst. Believing that the late-2000s credit crisis will be ultimately good for fashion, Daniel sees a future for fashion where grounded in traditional values; where luxury fashion again comes to represent quality production as opposed to being solely label driven.
