For his 15th anniversary collection, Matthew Williamson said he wanted to go back to his design roots and rediscover his love for India. There were some wonderful tailored pieces in chiffon to silk chiffon evening gowns.
Williamson created looks in primary colors and they were pavéd with sparkling beads and mirror ornaments. There were purple and white suits with rainbow colors dripping down the front and the back, and a leather jacket in a café au lait color with sleeves that blinked of shiny beads and mirrors.
Williamson worked with artist Shane McAdams and created abstract images of Kerala and Tibet that emerged on some trousers all of which tied in perfectly with this elegant, sexy and light hearted collection and Williamson should smile for creating it.
A collection that was full of beautiful fabrics, craftsmanship and details, it certainly looked polished and sophisticated and it was designed by Matthew Williamson. Tate Modern's cavernous and spare Tuhme Hall was sprinkled with colorful garments that were pared back for daywear and fancy for evening. Ikat prints were featured along with shirtdresses, slim trousers and cropped jackets. And for after dark nothing was held back because there were beautiful cocktail dresses that were beaded, embroidered and had feathery hemlines. The floorlength dresses had abstract blossom and Tokyo cityscape prints and had the right touches to make them looked sexy and elegant. This collection did catch the eyes of many people this time around.
