‘Hello, My Name is Paul Smith’ will open on 21 June and will take visitors on a journey through the world of the fashion designer.
A special exhibition dedicated to the Paul Smith brand is due to open next month at Nottingham Castle.
‘Hello, My Name is Paul Smith’ – which ran at the Design Museum from 2013 to 2014 – will open on 21 June and will take visitors on a journey through the world of the fashion designer.
It will include more than 1,500 objects which reflect his ‘personality, curiosity and energy’ while charting his success, reported Fashion United.
The designer’s first shop in Byard Lane, Nottingham, will be recreated in the exhibition alongside an immersive digital room filled with still and moving images that aim to capture his process of inspiration.
There will also be 1:1 replica of his office, which is full of books, bikes, objects from travels and gifts from those who visit.
“Being able to welcome Paul Smith, one of the city’s own legends and true success stories, as the very first to grace the amazing new temporary exhibitions space is the perfect fit,” commented Debbie Beardall, director of commercial and customer services at Nottingham Castle Trust. “It reflects our aim of truly championing and putting our unique city, and its rebellious voices, on the map for international heritage and culture tourism.
“With over a thousand fascinating objects on show, combined with Paul’s personal touch on the curation of the installation in his hometown, this will be an exhibition not to be missed.”
