Why buy a brand new defender that's random colours?
Money for old rope.

Love it, but then I'm a designer and I do tend to appreciate a lot of what Paul Smith does. I recently bought one of the Paul Smith Edition Anglepoise lamps, but think this might be out of my price range!

Completely agree about the quality of his clothes though. I used to wear Paul Smith jumpers on a daily basis, but they started to hole very easily. The shoes are terrible quality considering the cost. I've half a dozen pairs that cost upwards of £250 each and they're basically irreparable. Compare that to Grensons or Loakes that seem to last forever.

Why would you buy 12 of something you know to be terrible?

It reminds me of a bus with high visibility yellow for the partially sighted.

Because people keep doing this. If fashionistas left them alone and stopped pimping them into tart's handbags they'd keep making them.

Look at it!

Looks like 12 to me.

I think Paul Smith saw you coming.

What can I say, I'm a sucker for a nice pair of shoes, functional or not!

There are a few round here that seem to be the wheels of young lads, 14 and 15 plate ones all geezered up, definitely quite cool and they do look good but a lot of money for what is actually not a very good car, even if it is a great off roader.
