Colorful and cluttered, the office bursts with paraphernalia, from stacked bicycles and piles of books on designer chairs to an apple-green iMac, a futuristic record player and a red Snoopy phone on the rosewood desk.

This is, of course, no ordinary office — it's the painstaking recreation of the workspace used by Sir Paul Smith, the iconic British fashion designer, at his headquarters in London's Covent Garden district.

The scene is one of a series of detailed features that takes center stage in a new exhibition which, in keeping with the famously friendly and down-to-earth nature of the designer, is simply called "Hello, My Name is Paul Smith".
