Music: Paul Smith

Andy Warhol liked silver; Paris Hilton’s loves pink; Johnny Depp is partial to a bit of black; Tom Cruise loves the colour of money… yawn, so typical. Our favourite colour is 109, beautiful 109. Pantone 109, the iconic (not so mellow) yellow of Selfridges. It conjures up all sorts of images: quality, innovation, and most importantly all those delectable bites in the shiny food hall yum yum!
