In my first year as a new Londoner, I spent most of my time getting to know the cultural and foodie highlights of this city. Sure, I started reading an English newspaper and watched the BBC news, but I can't say I'm quite the expert yet when it comes to the British...
As with many other fashion designers, I could say that I knew of Paul Smith, but I didn't know much about him. So an exhibition with the name 'Hello, my name is Paul Smith' sounded like a good introduction into the life and work of this British designer. As much as I...
