Matthew Williamson Born in 1971, Matthew Williamson grew up in Chorlton, Manchester. At the age of 17, he was offered a place on the degree course at Central St Martins College of Art and Design, graduating in 1994 in Fashion Design and Printed Textiles. In 1997, Matthew Williamson launched his own label and made his debut with the infamous ‘Electric Angels’ collection, during London Fashion Week. Bias cut dresses and separates in exotic shades of tangerine, fuchsia and magenta, this unique collection of bright, intricately detailed pieces defined and set the pace for the highly recognisable Matthew Williamson signature aesthetic. The Central St Martins graduate had his illustrious career celebrated last year with an exhibition at the Design Museum in London.
