Maybe it begins with a glimpse or a passing thought. It ends in obsession. Thats what happened to Sir Paul Smith, UK fashion designer.
An unknown secret admirer kept sending things to him. Its peculiar, kinda funny and scary at the same time tho.
Receiving things from an unknown for 15-20 years and always covered in stamps? Very intriguing and persistent i must say.
So he decided to have an exhibition, ‘Sent Things’. Mmm…wonder why my secret admirer didn’t sent me anything?

‘sent things’, items sent to paul smith by a secret admirer over the past years.
paul smith to designboom in an interview:
‘I don’t know whether it’s a girl or a boy, I only know this fan is from USA.
for 15-20 years I received quite funny things from ‘him’, these include a surfboard,
football, broom, stepladders, sledge, watering can, fishing rod, piece of wood and much,
much more. only a few are shown here.they are always sent to me with the stamps and address on the object and NEVER in a box.
it’s amazing that they really arrive to destination… that the post offices don’t stop them.’via – designboom
