Matthew Williamson
Designer of the week is Matthew Williamson. Before starting his label, he would do freelance work creating dance costumes. Here are some of his past collections and past fashion shows. The Matthew Williamson Ltd was created in 1997 by Matthew and CEO, Joseph Velosa. He debuted his collection, "Electric Angels", at London Fashion Week. His show only showed fourteen colored looks.

His collection made a huge impact on the fashion world. A collection that was known for it's prints, embellishments, attention to detail and color. Bohemian spirit with a hint of laid back glamour. High expectations for years to follow.

Matthew Williamson says, "I don't design with a particular look or age in mind as it's obvious from working in my stores that my clothes are worn by all different types of people. The Matthew Williamson woman is feminine and sexy, fun and free-spirited, with a laid-back approach to glamour." His retrospect, trippy prints and fearless use of colors have shown up in mass market collections. He also created a womens-wear diffusion line named Butterfly in 2001. By 2005, he was appointed Creative Director of the Italian fashion house, Emilio Pucci. You may even find his collection at H&M.
