Fashion icon and designer Paul Smith returned to home soil to visit a self-named exhibition which is on its final stop of a worldwide tour.
Paul Smith - who hails from Nottingham - held an in-depth guided tour for invited guests and press when he visited the Hello, My Name is Paul Smith exhibition at Nottingham Castle.
He also hosted two workshops for students from the Nottingham Trent University art and design department and the 4th Chilwell Brownies.

Each workshop offered 10 young people the chance to present a creative idea or design to Paul. The brief was to create packaging or a bag for the new Nottingham Castle shop - inspired by Paul's iconic designs.
The day ended with a ticketed event to hear an exclusive talk by Paul with the chance to meet the city icon and take home a signed book.
Ted Cantle CBE, Chair of the Nottingham Castle Trust board, said: "It's a real privilege for us to welcome Paul and to celebrate the Castle as the final destination of "Hello, My Name Is Paul Smith".
"Being able to give Nottingham students and young people the chance to experience world-class exhibitions in a unique way and providing access to inspirational and iconic Nottingham voices is what we are all about."
The Hello, My Name is Paul Smith exhibition takes visitors on a journey through the world of the fashion designer with more than 1,500 objects - many of which are from Paul's personal collection.
The exhibition draws on Paul Smith's personal archive, from the company's beginnings in Nottingham to its international prominence today.
The exhibition, created in conjunction with the Design Museum, is Nottingham Castle's first major temporary exhibition since its £30 million redevelopment.
It runs until February 20 2022 and is included for free in the general admission ticket to Nottingham Castle.
