Matthew Williamson for all

I never used to be the biggest Matthew Williamson fan, I think he is a good designer but I never went crazy for his designs. However I admire the femininity of his designs, they are very girly, colourful, flowery, ornate and stylistic which keeps people like Sienna miller and Mischa Barton close to him.

The photos above are taken from the launch party for H&M

He has a strong fan base and is a key pioneer in the British fashion scene. It was only a matter of time before one of the high street stores grabbed him to create a line and it was H&M. You would have to have a heart of stone not to have deep feelings of love for H&M. Why? Because their clothes are cheap but amazing and they repeatedly bring high fashion to plebs like myself. They were pretty much the first or at least the main pioneer of the new designer for all movement. Karl Lagerfeld, Stella McCartney, Madonna, Roberto Cavalli, Commes Des Garcon(which was crap but that is another story for another day) what more could a girl want? Don't answer it is a rhetorical question. In November it was announced that Matthew would be collaborating with H&M and on April 23rd. Voila! The launch party had London fashion's glitterati but who cares, the collection rules (in my humble yet amazing opinion). I am dying, I really think he has put together an amazing collection.

The dress has a really bold and feminine colour. The belt reminds me of something a dominatrix will wear and the shoes are reminiscent of Jimmy Choo gladiator heels. The outfit really works, I am thinking you could wear this to a first (or second) date, or drinks or anywhere in fact. I really love tthe belt it is such a statement piece.





I do not really think the dress needs the leather jacket but it still looks nice. The colours in this dress remind me of the intense use of colour in surrealist painting, it also has a jungle safari vibe. The dress is partially backless which makes it even sexier. Williamson manages to sneak in black sequins to define the waist. It predominantly screams 'summer is here and I look hot bitches' ;-) This is the signature piece of the collection and if you get your hands on this......then go for it, It is my favourite so buy two and send one to me.





This reminds me of the 80's and Miami Vice. The colour of the blazer is so electric, the blazer trend is pretty major and I find most designers and fashionistas keep it subtle when it comes to blazers, I like Williamson's bold choice of electric blue. I doubt I would be brave enough to wear it with the matching trousers but that doesn't mean I don't think it looks fierce. Just a bit loud.




This follows Williamson's style in the use of contrasting and clashing colour. The length also lends itself to showing some sexy leg - please if you make this purchase I plead that you do not wear it with jeans or tights. It is summer...live a little





Jumpsuits are a little scary to wear but this looks really comfortable and relaxed. Something that can be dressed up or down with accessories. It is not very clear but the stitching detail in the chest area is pretty, I love the way the model is wearing the top buttons undone........ ;-)





This is a rather unusual but charming dress. Most designers use peacocks as an inspiration, particularly in regards to colours but Williamson is a little more literal. It has sequins.........like I am going to say anything bad about it.





What is not to love about this? It can be used on the beach, with leggings or denim. The combination of colours is really inspiring and not overwhelming yet bold.





I am not a bikini fan, I know what stone age are you from Halston? But if I was, I would wear this, it is so summery and pretty.





The swirls on the print is reminiscent of Emilio Pucci. The shapes almost look like butterflies which are a major inspiration for Matthew Williamson. Just to be cheeky - this kaftan also has a ghetto fabulous quality, I can imagine Kimora Lee Simmons in this.




Although this is meant to be beachwear it also has a little house on a prairie feel to it with the sleeves and the floral print.

I am more than impressed with this, I hope he does more collections with H&M.
