Top UK fashion designer Sir Paul Smith, last seen here on a skateboard excursion, takes another design detour, this time through the Isle of Man Postal Service to complete the commissioned Paul Smith London 2012 Olympic Games Isle of Man Stamp Collection. The real labour of love in the seven stamps/seven games set is presumably the one for cycling (above), as it turns out: a) Sir Paul was intent on a cycling career until aspirations were extinguished by a road accident at age 17; b) cyclist Mark Cavendish, the “fastest man on two wheels” and a starting favorite in the high-profile 2012 Olympics Men’s Road Race event, is an Isle of Man good buddy of Sir Paul. Besides at the post office, the stamps, along with complementary postcards, are available as a collectible set.
