Fashion Fringe Road Show
Matthew Williamson in conversation with Colin McDowell.
This talk was my favourite yet. As a designer Matthew Williamson is and inspiration, to hear the journey of his career so far showed how with enough hard work and determination it’s possible to make it in the fashion world by yourself.
Williamson (originally from Manchester) started his own business straight after college. He said it was helped by his ‘Bazar clarity’ since a young age of what he wanted to achieve.
His inspiration mainly came from places he has travelled to and the nature in these destinations. He spoke a lot about India as inspiration in his collections. From travelling to these countries he now has shops in them for example; London, New York, Dubai.
Throughout the talk Matthew Williamson gave advice from his own experiences, explained his inspirations and how he tries to achieve ‘Absolute perfection’.
This talk links to our project as he uses different countries and cultures as inspiration in his designs and these are the main points we are using as research in Manchester.
