NEW YORK PREVIEW: MATTHEW WILLIAMSON
MATTHEW WILLIAMSON watched some dodgy films to get the look right for spring/summer 2005. "I wanted to explore the Seventies idea of the ideal futuristic woman," he explains. "So I watched cheesy films like Weird Science and more dodgy things like Star Trek, Barbarella and Logan's Run." Don't expect the Williamson catwalk to be over-run by Stepford Wives, however - he's kept plenty of his signature elements: eye-popping colour, sexy silhouettes and a mass of intricate detailing. "On the one hand the girls will be very android-like and robotic," he goes on. "But it will still be very me. I'm curious about the mix of the effortless bohemian thing with the very modern." Showing off site for the first time, Williamson has transformed a huge white space on West 35th Street into a "very weird" sort of futuristic beach. "Imagine it if you will." he says. "It's great to be off-site though. I've been hankering after it for ages. We've had amazing support from Bryant Park but this is really an opportunity to make the show our own."
