Matthew Williamson Pre-Fall 2012

Recent runways have me crushing hard on the color-block trend, but the truth is that I’ve always been a pattern girl through and through. This is why British designer Matthew Williamson has a special place in my heart. Nicknamed “connoisseur of the clash”, he’s known for playful colors and patterns that can chase any blues away. 

But Williamson’s latest pre-fall collection struck a different tone  - a much more sophisticated and luxurious one. His patterns are paired with jewel tones, cigarette pants, lace sleeves, chevron print fur…need I say more? Matthew Williamson has distracted me from my love affair with unadulterated color-blocking and returning to my penchant for prints.
