< p > India, Ibiza Island, Bohemia, color, beauty, holiday wind - Matthew Williamson's (Matthew Williamson) design of women's wear can be summed up in these six words. Mature and distinctive style is positioned for him to earn word of mouth and sales at the same time. As one of the most successful women's designers in Britain, he now designs 13 series a year. < /p >
P's uncontroversial, simple and straightforward success occasionally stirred him up and even made him feel "breathless": "people have formed a preconceived concept, even if there is no India or any exotic elements in the series, the comment they wrote is still the same." He said. < /p >
P's sexy party dress and holiday suit may be a little superficial in the eyes of fashion opinion leaders, but the facts lie ahead: customers always crave them. Speaking of his 2013 spring and summer series, Williamson said: "no matter what I design, they always want to mention India, then I simply do not fight. India is India." Not surprisingly, he once again won the hall of fame. Fashion critics and buyers like this series. < /p >
< p > "nothing on my T platform can change the design of fashion form. I am very clear about it, but I do not care about it, but they also contain a lot of technology and technology." < /p >
< p > Williamson said frankly, "I like to show the bright side of things, which does not mean that I do not think in this process. It's like butterfly wings: they look beautiful and light and natural, but also incredibly precise and orderly. " < /p >
Last year, Williamson celebrated his personal brand 15th anniversary with a fashion video clip. P The hero of the movie is Matthew, a 15 year old boy when he was young. At the end of the movie, the boy's mother stood at the staircase and called her son down to dinner. Matthew, who was asleep with Vogue, woke up from the fashion dream. < /p >
< p > in real life, Williamson, 42, has long been a dream come true. < /p >
< p > starting from India < /p >.
In the early autumn night of P 1997, London fashion people crowded into a narrow studio to watch a fashion show featuring "electronic angels". The show is very short. There are only 11 sets of models, but the models are not bad, especially those three: Kate Moss, Helena Christensen and Jade Jagger. In the embers of minimalism and Grunge craze, Williamson illuminated the British fashion world at the end of the century with beautiful and magical colors. < /p >
The story of P's overnight fame is always easy to remember and circulate. Many people recognize that Williamson is lucky to be famous in London after graduation. After all, he set up a personal brand when he was only 26 years old. In fact, this is not the whole picture of the story. < /p >
< p > when Williamson was 17 years old, he entered Saint Martin to learn fashion design. His career was not as smooth as he imagined. He is the youngest of the 60 in the class. Maybe I am too young, like a fish that has left the water and is at a loss. All the other students are designing the concept fashion. Only I am staring at the photo of the carnival in Rio De Janeiro. < /p >
There is always a sliding door in the life of P. The door belonging to Williamson is not in London but in his hometown, Manchester. One weekend in college, he met Joseph Verosa (Joseph Velosa) in a bar in Manchester. He was the most important partner in his life in the last twenty years. In the era of the "rock roses" and "happy Monday" bands, the boys in the pubs wore a hooded trench coat. Verosa wore a neat shirt, "very handsome, and his teeth were white." The two soon fell in love. In order to get along with each other, Rosa, who was studying philosophy in Manchester, transferred to London's King's college. < /p >
< p > 1994, when Williamson graduated from Saint Martin, he first got a job in the British brand Monsoon. After several trips to India, he realized what kind of clothes he wanted to design and decided to set up his own door. He quit his job and went to India with Verosa. After buying two alternate tickets, they only have 90 pounds in their backpack. In India, two people made some sample clothes on the spot. Back in London, Rosa urged Williamson to take these clothes to the editor of Vogue. Like any couple who are in love, we are proud of what the other person is doing. Williamson said. So he opened the magazine that he loved to read and found clues in the copyright page. < /p >
< p > "I saw a fashion editor called Prang Sykes Skyes. I thought that the name was really nice, so I sent her a famous piece of Plum." He really received the call from the editor. < /p >
< p > "Vogue" published the clothes designed by Williamson. Then Tatl Er also came to borrow films from him. The next day, the model Jade Jagger called to show that he wanted to leave a skirt. Verosa refused her on the phone, but said she could spend money on it. < /p >
< p > Williamson said that if the person who answered the phone was himself, I would have agreed to it. Thanks to Verosa's shrewdness, Williamson and Jagger met for the first time. When Williamson mentioned that he wanted to do a fashion show, Jagger volunteered to invite her friend Kate Moss to join him in the show. Kate came, they sat on the ground eating McDonald's, Kate pointed to a pink orange and turquoise color matching skirt, said: "if I can wear that skirt, I'll show you." Recalling the situation at that time, Williamson said, "Kate always knows what will happen next." < /p >
< p > "those girls were not good friends with me at that time. They want to show off because they like the clothes I designed. Williamson said. Over the years, more and more female stars have become their fans, Muse and friends. They love their designs no matter whether they go to the red carpet or go to the seaside for a holiday. < /p >
< p > now, when we mention Matthew Williamson, people may first associate with the name of Sienna Miller, but no matter how dazzling star aura can not conceal Verosa's importance. "Without him, I would not have achieved today's status. He may play a more important role than me. " Williamson said. The two people are no longer lovers, and they are more than 12 years old. At present, they share 52% of the brand. "Our relationship is still very good. He has always been my best friend." Williamson said. < /p >
< p > Manchester boy < /p >.
Less than two years ago, when Williamson was on his 40 birthday, his parents gave him a gold pendant with "MW, always love you, mom and Dad". Now he always wears it on his neck. P For 15 years, Williamson's parents never missed any of his shows, including the party after the conference. He raised his eyebrows, adding. Williamson has decided to become a fashion designer since he was 11 years old. < /p >
< p > when he was young, he was puzzled when he heard his elder sister bewildered that he did not know whether he would be a nurse or a teacher in the future. How could I not know? For me, it is more obvious. Ever since I know what fashion design is, I have decided that I am going to do this business in the future. This ambition has somewhat frustrated his father. < /p >
< p > the Williamson family lives in the southern suburbs of Manchester, England. The father runs a TV sales company. It is natural for him to buy a pair of football shoes for his son as a Christmas gift. But the son did not cross it once. I knew I could not become a typical northern boy. Williamson said he had made up his mind to go to London very early. Fortunately, during his study of Saint Martin, his father finally accepted his son's uniqueness. Amazing, my dad. " He moved. < /p >
< p > Williamson attributed her fashion dream to her mother, though she was just an ordinary eyeglasses. "I admire her very much. In such a dark, industrial atmosphere of middle class, she uses fashion to make herself happier and brighten everything around her. In his memory, though the scenery outside their windows is not good enough, the house is always exquisitely arranged and well organized. The mother was proud of having taken care of the room. < /p >
< p > Interior Designer is Williamson's "second ideal career". He not only designed home products for Debenhams department store in England, but also regarded it as a personal hobby. Last year, he moved home. The whole decoration process made him enjoy it very much. The new house is located near the Primrose Hill in the north of London. The walls are painted with variegated pink coloured flowers. There are exquisite black iron railings and two rows of laurel trees at the door, and a collection of India silk bird ornaments hang along the huge bay windows. Looking through the window, you can see a large bunch of peace taro on the white tulip table and a colorful Murano glass ashtray. The red orange Juju headwear and Jimmy Hendricks's old poster hung on the wall, with a bell shaped glass cover squeezed by the mantelpiece, Mexico prayer candles and antique butterfly specimens. In short, everything inside and outside carries out the aesthetics of Williamson style. < /p >
Williamson moved to gardening after moving P. "I am creating a small English lawn for myself." He said. This lawn will also belong to another member of the family, Coco, a glossy American Cocker Spaniel. < /p >
