Nigel Cabourn
Barneys' blog, BSides, has an interview with designer Nigel Cabourn by one of the store's buyers, Andrew Caldwell. Cabourn has been in the business for more than four decades and has recently gained a whole new following thanks to the revival of all things archival and rugged. Caldwell asks the outerwear aficionado about his past including a rumor he heard that Paul Smith used to work for him.
This is true. Actually, Paul worked as my sales agent when I first launched my brand to the London stores. He introduced my brand to some famous stores of that decade. In fact, he introduced me to the first vintage market in Paris in 1979.
