RUNWAY TOP 6 : MATTHEW WILLIAMSON FALL 2011

Matthew Williamson's signature boho chic aesthetic wasn't missing on this years fall runway, it just bought some tuff luxe friends (and then some). Although not getting rave reviews, I enojoyed the bold mixing of prints, feathers, leather, fabrics, colours and fringes...normally too much for one collection I think he did really well in blending all the elements and maintaing a cohesive look.

Inspired by a Russian artist and Mongolian culture, it was at least a good deal more bright and upbeat than alot of the other showings...and I even liked the shoes and sock look for once, how bout you?
