Brand Focus Matthew Williamson

Every year Matthew Williamson is a huge hit at London Fashion Week and for his Spring Summer 13 show it was extra special as the collection marked his 15th anniversary. As usual the collection saw a great use of colour with the main inspiration being the 'Festival of Colour' and his passion for India. Think glamorous floating gowns alongside beautifully structured shift dresses and think lots of hot pink and cobalt blue... this is certainly a season of celebration.

Matthew Williamson is fabulous at designing perfect shifts, a key shape of this season. Model of the moment Sarah Ann Macklin looked simply stunning when she was photographed at Tom Ford's dinner wearing the Raj Linen embroidered shift dress. Embellished beautifully with varying beads and dazzling mirrors this knee length dress is beautiful, the blue colour palette is gorgeous and the cut is tailored to perfection. Like Macklin you need to keep accessories to a minimum.

Here at Cruise, we also have the Raj Linen dress available without the embellishment but in a striking pink colour option. Perfect for the warm months ahead this printed dress is tailored beautifully. The vibrant colours and bold print are typical of Williamson and it's no surprise that the dress was a feature in the runway show. Team this with towering heels and an oversize clutch for a striking Summer feel.
