Matthew Williamson A/W and S/S 2007 collections






I like the pattern on this dress and also the style is unusual with the hood added to it to give a more distinctive look. This was from Mathew Williamsons autumn/winter 2007 collection.







Atumn/Winter 2007




























































I love the sequins on this Mathew Williamson dress which I took a photo of at The Design Museum in London in 2008. This was from his autumn/winter 2007 collection.
