MATTHEW WILLIAMSON at the Somerset House 28.11.2010

When I step into one of Matthew's dresses I feel like I am stepping into his world, which is colourful, ethereal and dreamlike. – Sienna Miller

Somerset House is currently hosting a display of Matthew Williamson's work, to coincide with the publication of his new book. The display animates aspects of the book and features photographs and key quotes from contributors, offering a unique insight into the life of one of the most original and exciting fashion designers working today.

The book, published by Rizzoli, celebrates Williamson's colour-drenched creations embellished with exquisite embroidery and beading. Photographs of Williamson's textile designs, celebrity fashion shoots, and mood boards, sketches and scrapbooks reveal his influences and inspirations. Key players such as Sir Paul Smith, Diane Von Furstenburg, Zandra Rhodes, Anna Wintour, Editor of US Vogue and Lucy Yeomans, editor of Harpers Bazaar provide comment on the success of the brand.
