Paul Smith himself showed us around his studio. Every single thing has come all the way from Great Britain, and his studio here is a perfect reproduction of his creative studio back home.



This exhibition marks 40 years of Paul Smith’s work. The space is divided into three separate areas, and comprised of over 1,600 exhibits!



For example, one particularly extraordinary exhibit is a wall made of 70,000 buttons! 



The exhibition is not just about fashion, but it also showcases his masterful photography. 



There’s a video of Paul Smith himself talking about where he draws his creative inspiration from.



On the first floor of the exhibition are limited edition Triumph motorcycles that he designed, as well as Mini Coopers. You’re free to take as many pictures as you like.



When you step onto the third floor, the first thing you’ll see is a wall full of photographs. Every photo is from Paul Smith’s private collection, consisting of both his own photography and others he’s picked up over the years.



You’re sure to spot a number of familiar faces. There are The Beatles and several other British national treasures.



The pop artist Andy Warhol’s colorful art makes a stark contrast to Paul Smith’s melancholy colors.



At the end of the corridor, Paul Smith is waiting for you...


Paul Smith has also brought his biggest and best store, located on Melrose Avenue in New York and famous for being PINK, to Shanghai!



The pink “shop” showcases just a few of Paul Smith’s drawings.



Aside from his classic pink store, you can also see all the other Paul Smith stores around the world. 



The most exciting part of this particular exhibition is the meticulous attention to detail in recreating Paul Smith’s home studio.



From the clothing design, to the sketches and the fabrics, every single part of the creation process is exposed on this table.



If you’re looking to set up your own studio, this is the perfect place to come for a hit of inspiration.



In addition to the restored studio, you can also sneak a peek at Paul Smith’s design sketches, and guess what the autumnal trends might be.



Paul Smith excitedly explained that every object in that studio is incredibly dear to him.



He told us that when surrounded by all these colorful objects, he feels like a kid in a toy store!



And this “childlike” mood is what inspired him to create the wall of 70,000 buttons.



Paul Smith's bedroom is also on display.



When you come out of the studio, you’ll step into Paul Smith’s wonderful clothing display area.



This is where over 100 pieces of classic Paul Smith pieces are displayed, from jumpers to jackets, and of course all very typically British.



Look out for everyone taking pictures in front of the pink wall at the end of the exhibition.



As well as his favorite bikes, Paul Smith has also designed limited edition bottles of Evian water, Leica cameras and a series of cycling t-shirts.



Look around the store for a number of things we can guarantee you won’t find anywhere else!
