Exhibition: Hello, My Name is Paul Smith

On Tuesday I visited the exhibition Hello, My Name is Paul Smith at the Fashion Museum in Hasselt.
I also went to the opening where I met Paul Smith (see picture below).
He is really a nice guy. So if you get the chance to meet him, take your chance. 

The exhibition centers about his personals ideas. There are not that much clothes to see and I think this is a plus for this exhibition.
He started his career on under influence from his wife Pauline and they're still together.
You can see his shop from 3 by 3 meters, where his design team works, behind-the scenes from a runway show, his collaborations with brands, his workroom and a lot more.

This exhibition is bigger than in London (400 m²).
After Hasselt the exhibition will be expand to Singapore and Tokyo.
You can see the exhibition until the 7th of June in the Fashion Museum in Hasselt.
