| Hello, My Name is Paul Smith |
Opens 15 November 2013
'It felt timely to tell the remarkable story behind the Paul Smith brand and it is a very inspiring story to tell - we go back to the very beginning of the company and Paul's first shop in Nottingham that opened in 1970. It was just 3 x 3 metres in size and was only open two days a week. The exhibition charts the development of the company from its humble beginnings in the early 1970s through to its truly global scale of operation today.' - Hello, My Name is Paul Smith exhibition curator Donna Loveday.
