Matthew Williamson for H&M: one more look into the collection
New pictures of the Matthew William + H&M line have surfaced
I must say I’m a big fan of the prints already, and I’m loving the scarf! The jacket/waistcoast might look a bit cheap though.
Word on the street is that that belt looks exactly like one from Williamson’s own line? Poor poor loyal customers, I bet they feel a bit cheated now!
You can definitely see a lot of the designer’s signature style, the bright colours, the amazing patterns, the peacock feathers (not the MW on the necklace as well)
