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.
