Here’s my pick of three things to do in London this week… enjoy!
STOP
What: Hello, My Name Is Paul Smith
Where: Design Museum London
When: Until March 9
Step into the world of British fashion designer Paul Smith (literally step into, there’s a complete replica of the designer’s office in the exhibition) and discover how this quintessentially British label rose from its beginnings in 1970s Nottingham to its international prominence today.
LOOK
What: Raw Truth: Auerbach – Rembrandt
Where: Ordovas, London
When: Until November 30
This sounds like a really exciting exhibition, bringing together paintings and etchings by Rembrandt on loan from the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and a series of drawings by German-born painter Frank Auerbach.

LISTEN
What: Blue is the Warmest Colour
Where: Released in cinemas Friday 22
The much anticipated winner of the Palme d’Or at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, Abdellatif Kechiche’s film portrays an intense lesbian relationship between Adele (played by Adèle Exarchopoulos) and Emma (Léa Seydoux).
