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.
