As soon as I walked in I was hit by the bright colours, pinks, turquoise, orange , yellow, green etc, etc. The clothes were stunning, especially the beaded detail on some dresses, but also the print on the garments and the shape and cut. I couldn't fault it. There was a huge mood board as you first walked in showing all of Matthew Williamson's inspiration for the show. You notice that he travels all over the world by the various things he has collected. There was a lot of references to India and Cuba.
I was really excited by seeing his sketchbooks in the glass cabinets, they were fantastic. Some were nostalgic as there were pictures of Adam Ant! This took me back a few years. There were further print designs displayed on the walls which had been digitally produced, again stunning. It was really good to see how he develops his research and inspiration. Would love to see this exhibition again.
