With a limitless curiosity for wide-ranging cultural references and idiosyncratic combinations of pattern and color, many of Smith’s designs begin with an interest in reinterpreting traditional apparel motifs including stripes, plaid, paisley, polka dot, and houndstooth.
Smith’s work draws upon his extensive library of visual references collected from across art, design, and architecture, encompassing vintage botanicals, needlepoint, and ironwork.
