Matthew Williamson SS12 Show

For spring/summer 2012, Matthew Williamson was the first designer to ever show in the Turbine Hall of the Tate Modern, London. With a mood board referencing artist Mat Collishaw and Japan, Matthew commented: "It's loosely based on the Japanese influences that I worked on quite heavily for my pre-collection, I've never really looked in that direction until now but it's created some really beautiful shapes that are quite a move forward for me. I want the designs to be chic and womanly -- less girly and hopefully even more refined than normal. I wanted to keep the DNA of the brand but explore new territory, literally and figuratively.
