Fashion designers work so hard in order to provide us with the things we need in order to feel great and the things that boost our esteem. If we do not have these fashion designers, then we will not be feeling as great as we feel when we wear a well designed outfit or even when we wear accessories or cosmetics. Fashion is not only for one group of people as many people tend to believe. It is for all generations consisting of male and female, the children, the young adults, the adults themselves and the old. Practically, everyone likes feeling good about how they look, which is why we go after designs like DKNY, which stands for Donna Karan New York.

Established in 2002 by Paul Slade, Paul’s Boutique is based in South Ruislip, London whose main line of business is manufacturing bags, hoodies and other fashion accessories. They gained widespread popularity with female teenagers and have been known for their “I love PB” logo in all their products. They sell their products online at their website at http://www.pauls-boutique.com/ or we can just visit Top shop, ASOS, Cult, Bank Fashion and Hype stores which carry this brand.

It all started when Paul Slade wanted to go clubbing but faced a problem of not having anything to wear. He bought a suit which cost £4, and redesigned it by showing all the inside seams and pockets. Someone approached him and saw the suit which he had made and instantly ordered 10 suits which he later sold for £600 each.

When Top shop saw what he had made, he was asked to open a store in their Oxford Circus branch. The rest as they say is now history.
