Happy Lunar New Year

Lunar New Year celebrations are big this year – the year of the rabbit.

Each year is named after one of the twelve signs of the Chinese zodiac in a repeating cycle and this year’s sign happens to be a favourite of one of our most famous local designers.

Paul Smith may not be from Charnwood but the Nottingham – born fashionista no doubt crosses over its border to cycle the beautiful lanes when he’s training for his other favourite hobby.

How about marking the beginning of the eastern annual holiday with a special insight into his collection of rabbits; the lucky charm he receives at each one of his shows?
