Smith was first catapulted into the limelight with her debut studio album Lost and Found in 2018.
She has since won a row of accolades, including the BRITs Critics Choice Award, the BRIT Award for Best British Female Artist and a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist.
Smith said: “Clarks means so much to so many different groups of people – I’m excited to have the opportunity to add to that legacy. I wanted to work on a profile that’s different but, most importantly, wearable. Overall my style is simple and laid-back, and the shoes reflect that. They’re comfortable and casual but with a lot of individuality.”
