Matthew Williamson is the go-to man for a show-stopping dress that will turn even the most conservative heads! Born and raised in England, the designer has a unique eye for color and using embroidery and beading in his designs has become his staple. This picture, taken from his Fall 2006 Ready-to-Wear fashion show earlier this year, shows the growth in his work. Willaimson says he is ‘moving away from hippie in favour for a polished elegance,’ hence his self imposed restriction on the use of all things shiny! However, his latest collection only proved that his love for bright colors still exists and the glitz has just been replaced with prints and patterns. I adore his work because I love anything that sparkles, but not in a Tina Knowles kind of way!...Williamson knows how to create dresses with intricate beading and sequins that still look elegant and refined! Celebrities who wear his clothes include Halle Berry, Lindsay Lohan and Sienna Miller. View his latest collection @ www.style.com or visit the designer’s personal website @ www.matthewwilliamson.com
