# Exclusive interview with Paul Smith

Exclusive interview with Paul Smith. In this exclusive interview, British fashion designer Paul Smith shows Dezeen his new exhibition at London's Design Museum, which contains a room "nicknamed the paracetamol room, because by the time you come out you'll probably need an aspirin".

Called Hello, My Name Is Paul Smith the show, which opened today, celebrates Paul Smith's career to date and reveals insights into his creative processes.

"The whole point of the exhibition is really about encouragement," he tells Dezeen while sat in a recreation of his cluttered Covent Garden office that has been created at the show. "It hopefully gives you the encouragement to think, well, I can move on from a humble beginning'," he says. http://www.dezeen.com/2013/11/15/hello-my-name-is-paul-smith-design-museum-exhibition/
