Great news for Matthew Williamson’s fans – the designer is going to create a handbag range under the collaboration with Bvlgari.
Francesco Trapani, chief executive officer of Bvlgari, said they decided to team up with Williamson due to “the great sense of colour and design he brings to his work”.
The designer is the first who has been offered the collaboration. Now Bvlgari accessories are created by a design team based in Florence.
The collection is to be made for Spring/ Summer 2010 and will be unveiled at Milan Fashion Week in September.
Williamsom is to be very busy soon as he has recently told about a menswear line he is to create for the coming season.
He said:
I wanted to start a menswear line of slim-fitting, luxury cashmere jumpers in a range of great colours. I know these jumpers will become season-less staples in my own wardrobe. Cashmere and silk printed scarves and hand-beaded T-shirts complement the line and form a solid foundation for the collection to grow next season.”

Being a designer is not easy. You have to feel what people want.
Matthew Williamson does his best to get his place in fashion industry. He has to work hard and long. His whole life has become consumed by work.
The designer is famous for his outstanding vision of womenswear but this isn’t what he is going to do all his life. He wants to dress men, too. Moreover, he is already creating outfits for the stronger half of the humanity.
His debut collection is to be launched soon but now Matthew still has a lot to do.
He said:
I’m working from eight in the morning till 10 at night every day right now. I don’t really have much of a life, I really don’t. I went out last night for the first time in god knows how long. I go home, eat my dinner and go to bed. It’s not how I want to live forever; it’s not healthy to be this consumed by your work.”
Making a full menswear line has been a dream of Matthew’s for a long time. He has once created a range for high street store H+M with clothes for both men and women and the success the line had gave an inspiration for the new work.
He told The New Review magazine:
I’ve always wanted to do menswear – it’s never been a struggle to think about how it look, but I guess H+M is the reason for why now. That was a really nice project, as I got to deign clothes I could wear myself. And it sold well, so I was chuffed. It inspired the thought that it really could happen. This range is just us dipping our toe in to begin with. We’ll see if people are interested, then hopefully we’ll build on it.”

Some people know what they want to be since their childhood, while others cannot determine what their passion is and what they can do with it to earn money. Matthew Williamson had no such a problem when he was small. At the age of 11 he already knew what he would do for a living.
The fashion designer even couldn’t understand why his sister was unaware of what career she wanted. The boy had never contemplated doing anything else.
He said:
I wanted to be a designer from the age of about 11. There was never any question in my mind. I just knew. I remember my sister couldn’t decide if she wanted to be a nurse or a teacher, and I was like, ‘How do you not know?’ “
Matthew’s parents could hardly understand their son’s aspiration as their jobs were rather simple – his father sold electrical items, his mother worked as an optician’s receptionist – but they didn’t try to persuade him to choose something different.
He said:
I think it probably was quite shocking for a parent to have a son who wants to be a fashion designer, but for them it was a spark of uniqueness and that grew into pride. It was like, ‘Well, thank God he’s got passion.’ “
When Matthew entered London’s prestigious Central Saint Martins college, he was the youngest among 60 other boys but he was probably the most talented.
He explained to Britain’s The Observer newspaper:
I became absolutely determined to go there. The plan was to go to a place in Manchester to do a foundation year first, but in the interview this woman said, ‘What you have in your folder is what we expect when you leave the foundation course.’
Now the designer is known all over the world and plenty of famous people admire his designs. The list of Williamson’s fans include: Sienna Miller, Lindsay Lohan, Jade Jagger, Cheryl Cole and Helena Christensen.

Different people get their inspiration from different things and persons. And when it comes to discussion it often happens that many are inspired by their parents, mothers more than fathers.
The same is true about an acclaimed designer Matthew Williamson who says his first muse was his mother.
The British designer is now working with A-celebs like supermodel Kate Moss, Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow but everything he has now he owes to his mother whose flawless look motivated him to enter fashion.
He explained:
I think my first fashion moment was watching my mom prepare for work. She used to prepare meticulously the night before and I would sit at the edge of the bed and question her. She was a little bit like my first muse.”
Besides the mother, his muses later have been Jade Jagger and actress Sienna Miller.
Sienna Miller is still interesting for the designer. He likes the way she adapted her wardrobe to the tough times of nowadays.
He said:
The credit crunch means people spend on things they love rather than trends. Sienna Miller looks great because she’s not afraid to mix designer pieces with cheaper things.
Iconic pieces are good buys at the moment. A brightly coloured belt is my all-time tip – a cinched waist looks great on everybody. A pink patent-leather studded belt transforms a T-shirt dress from being casual and beach-y to a glamorous silhouette.”

A beautiful and perfectly-shaped DJ Leigh Lezark is rumoured to be Matthew Williamson’s new muse. She is not a stranger to the fashion world and her career in this sphere is developing pretty fast.
She has already modelled for the ads of Hogan and Gap, but has recently been noticed by the king of color – designer Matthew Williamson.
She brings a certain effortlessness to the work that I do. She makes things look unconventional,’ says Matthew about the DJ, who he met for the first time on a recent magazine shoot, where she posed his H&M range.
She is very petite and bird-like and fragile, but at the same time she is quite edgy and strong, and that contrast is interesting.’
That may seem very strange that Williamson and Leigh decided to work together since the girl has mostly dressed in a dark, nearly always black, palette.
I dress in black nearly all the time – if you open my closet it’s just darkness,’ says Leigh. ‘So Matthew’s color is a change for me and he does it in such a beautifully tasteful way.’
Well, probably this cooperation will work well for both Leigh and the designer. If the rumors prove to be true she will join the list of Williamson’s muses including Sienna Miller, Jade Jagger, Helena Christensen and others.
Leigh Lezark still does D.J. gigs all over the world, but is currently focusing her energies on modeling. Does this mean we are going to have another fashion icon soon?
