Paul Smith is one of the most prominent designers in the world today. Now, the highly acclaimed exhibition “Hello, My Name Is Paul Smith” from the Design Museum, London is being held in Shenzhen.

The exhibition charts the designer’s small beginnings from a replica of his first tiny shop in Nottingham to the global company it is today in some 70 countries and regions. It reveals how Smith’s intuitive take on design, together with an understanding of the roles of designer and retailer, have laid the foundations for lasting success and offers a unique insight into the magnificent mind of Smith.

The exhibition features rooms dedicated to Paul Smith designs, his inspirations, and to the people who helped make the brand a global success, such as his wife Pauline. Besides the 1970s shop replica, there is a recreation of his studio and his office, with all the quirky little tidbits, objects, books and artworks the designer collected over the years and are signature to his design style.
