What better way to celebrate 15 years in the fashion
industry than to make a film about it?
This year saw Matthew Williamsons 15th
Anniversary in fashion and to celebrate the occasion, he decided to open up his
life in a short film about his work.
"It's about the dreams of my 15-year-old self imagining
this ethereal universe full of beautiful girls in these amazing dresses,"
explains the designer. "I was also really thrilled to work with the
amazing Andrea Riseborough too who plays my mum."
For once however, we won’t be looking on the big screen to
find stars such as Sienna Miller, Fillol Cordier, Poppy Delevingne and of
course, Riseborough, as this short film is in conjunction with Swarovksi and
Net-A-Porter, this is the only place you can watch it when its launches next
week.
In an interview with Vogue, Williamson passed on his own
advice and what the 20th anniversary may bring: "Confidence and
belief in yourself and your vision is absolutely paramount. The fashion
industry is tough - be prepared to take advice and criticism along the way, but
have unwavering belief in your vision.
"This is the next incredibly exciting time for the
brand and we hope to take it to the next level. So ideally the big 2-0 will be
bigger and better. I'm looking forward to now adding new layers to the DNA of
our brand as we begin the next chapter in our story.”
