Matthew Williamson Announces Capsule Menswear Collection for SS2010
In addition to four annual women’s ready-to-wear collections, international fashion designer Matthew Williamson is to launch a capsule menswear range for Spring Summer 2010, with a view to expanding the line seasonally thereafter.
London, United Kingdom, March 02, 2010 --(PR.com)-- The Matthew Williamson capsule collection for men will comprise cashmere jumpers, printed and beaded t-shirts and men’s printed scarves woven in the finest natural fibres. The range features the designer’s characteristic elements of print and embellishment through a rich, yet wearable palette.
The designer commented “I wanted to start a menswear line of slim fitting, luxury cashmere jumpers in a range of great colours. I know these jumpers will become season-less staples in my own wardrobe. Cashmere & silk printed scarves and hand beaded t-shirts compliment the line and form a solid foundation for the collection to grow next season.”
Available exclusively from Feb 2010 in Harrods menswear designer department, as well as Matthew Williamson flagship stores and online boutique.
