Matthew Williamson Designs Spring 2010 Accessory Collection with Atelier Swarovski
feature · October 21, 2009 · 0 Comments
Matthew Williamson debuted his first accessory collection in collaboration with Atelier Swarovski on the runway for spring 2010.
Williamson's inspiration for the crystal cuffs, breastplate necklaces, and evening clutches was drawn from the artist Jim Lambie, who is best know for arranging brightly colored tape into geometric patterns. As a result the accessory collection consists of vibrantly colored, oversized graphic pieces—much in line with Williamson's signature aesthetic.
For the spring collections Atelier Swarovski also worked with Zaha Hadid (zigzag-shaped rings), Jason Wu (sculptural necklaces) and Nicholas Kirkwood to create exclusive crystal jewelry and accessories. Past designer collaborations have included Christopher Kane, Doo.Ri Chung, Hussein Chalayan, Giles Deacon, Proenza Schouler, Rodarte, and Philip Crangi.

Matthew Williamson Resort 2010
The thing Matthew Williamson has going for him when it comes to resort is that his signature aesthetic is vaguely "tropical island" in the first place. For Resort 2010 he sent out a combination of candy colors and bright, electric prints. Some pieces were subtly beaded while others had dramatic embroidery. Considering that Williamson's price point is on the high end of designer, we much prefer his softer, more subdued expressions. Two of our favorites, above.
