The world famous fashion designer offered his support
Famous fashion designer Sir Paul Smith helped to raise £18,000 for Nottingham Playhouse at his recent ‘Audience with …’ events. The Beeston-born designer reached out to the venue to offer his support after Nottingham City Council funding cuts in March.
Two events were held on October 15, with acclaimed journalist and author Richard Williams, interviewing Sir Paul on stage. The virtually sold-out audiences were rapt as Sir Paul told fascinating stories from his life, his career and how he has maintained independence and longevity for the business. He also managed to squeeze in a book-signing in the city in the same day.
“Sir Paul has done so much to showcase and support creativity in the city, the UK and internationally. It was wonderful to hear him speak in person, so humbly, about how important it is to encourage creative minds to flourish.”
