A Designer Profile: Matthew Williamson


Previous week's Project Runway hosted Matthew Williamson. He was one of the guest judges. I was pretty sure I had heard his name before. I decided to do some research on him. Here's what I have found.

Matthew Willamson launched his own line in 1997. He got recognized as the designer of the year by Elle magazine in 2004.

Plum Sykes, a famous fashion writer, said this about his designs:

“Take a London girl and send her on a trip—through Bali, Goa, and Ibiza—and you have Matthew Williamson's glamorous and seductive vision of a well-dressed gypsy.”

Matthew Williamson worked for an Indian label Mansoon in the past which has really made an impact on his designs. Some of his clients are Sienna Miller, Bjork, Keira Knightley, and Helene Christensen. He launched his online store in May 2009. http://www.matthewwilliamson.com/ The opening screen is great.

You can find his designs at Barneys New York, Bergdorf Goodman, Zoe, and Kirna Zabete. Last year, he collabarated with H&M and created a summer line for them.

You can also find it at Yoox.com for a better value.

Project Runway is Baaaack!!!

Hi All the Project Runway lovers, the show is back. I found out by mistake that the Project Runway started last week. I don't watch Lifetime a lot. I was looking at something online and realized it was starting online. The 2nd episode is on tomorrow on Lifetime at 10 pm. My favorites in the first episode were Emilio Sosa (the winning designer), Jay Nicolas Sario, Jonathan Peters, and Maya Luz. I have a feeling that Anthony Williams may surprise us in a good or bad way:) My favorite top 2 designs were Jay's and Maya's.
