About Shrinking:
“Shrinking” follows a grieving therapist who starts to break the rules and tell his clients exactly what he thinks. Ignoring his training and ethics, he finds himself making huge, tumultuous changes to people’s lives … including his own.
About Paul Smith:
Paul Smith is Britain’s leading independent design company and a true fashion institution. Beginning in 1970 with a single three-by-three metre shop in Paul’s hometown of Nottingham, it has grown into a global enterprise, with more than 130 shops across 60 countries. All throughout this, the guiding principle has been Paul’s design philosophy of ‘classic with a twist,’ with every piece reflecting his irrepressible spirit.
