The Hair and Makeup for the Collection

Cos Sakkas, the irrepressibly cheerful stylist for Toni & Guy was in charge of hair, and here too we saw a relaxed, deconstructed, youthful look as though Matthew Williamson's elegant wealthy woman had stepped onto a plane to India with a sleek, perfect bun and centre parting, then as her trip went on, bits came loose..
On the catwalk, the hair and make up really came to life. The simple hair was the perfect foil for the luxe collection, while the girls' skin glowed under the lights with the kind of radiant health and beauty that only genes, youth - and a big bottle of Sunbeam can achieve.

Matthew Williamson Collection

Matthew Williamson's 15th anniversary show was inspired by his love of India and the colourfull festival of Holi, the collection was as covetable, and as colourful, as one would expect from Williamson.
Inspiration for that cornucopia of colour came courtesy of the Holi Festival  an Indian street party where people throw brightly coloured powder over one another and which provided Williamson with the hypercolourful, playful vibe that runs through his work like a seam.
Above the catwalk hung garlands of colourful flowers and strings of lightbulbs, giving the contemporary space the warm, bustling feel of an Indian market place - you could almost smell the jasmine and spices in the air.
The Holi festival is being used in fashion and runways, and in many collections from successful designers.

The festival of colours

A colourful celebration

Holi is the Hindu festival that welcomes the Spring and celebrates the new life and energy of the season. Although Holi has religious roots, not much religious activity is involved in its celebration.

Holi is the most energetic Indian festival, filled with fun and good humour; even the strict rules of separation between castes are abandoned.

Holi is also called 'The Festival of Colours', and people celebrate the festival by smearing each other with paint, and throwing coloured powder and dye around in an atmosphere of great good humour.

Holi is seen by some as the Hindu festival that is nearest in spirit to St. valentines day.
