Paul Smith, the British fashion designer, has collaborated with Apple Music, for which he has created three unique playlists.

Apple Music's fashion curator program first launched in June 6 and Alexander Wang was the first designer to work with the company. He was followed by Chloé's Claire Waight Keller, and now the turn has come to Paul Smith.

“From the album artwork to the friendships I’ve built over the years with musicians, it’s all a part of my creative process,” Smith says of his relationship to music. His three playlists are:

* "Around the World in 20 Tracks" - songs that remind Smith of his time "travelling around the world on trains and planes gradually growing the business from just a little shop in Nottingham, England to selling in more than seventy different countries."

* "From Herbie to Holiday", a collection of Smith's favourite jazz songs. "At 6AM when I get into the studio, I put these records on when no-one else is around," he says.

* "Something Old, Something New...", which features a mix of old and new tracks, including songs borrowed from recent catwalk show soundtracks.

Paul Smith's playlists are available to Apple Music subscribers now.
