Matthew Williamson announces new menswear line

In addition to four annual women’s ready-to-wear collections, international fashion designer Matthew Williamson is to launch a capsule menswear range for Spring Summer 2010, with a view to expanding the line seasonally thereafter.

The collection will comprise cashmere jumpers, printed and beaded t-shirts and printed scarves woven in the finest natural fibres. The range features the designer’s characteristic elements of print and embellishment through a rich, yet wearable palette.

The designer commented “I wanted to start a menswear line of slim fitting, luxury cashmere jumpers in a range of great colours. I know these jumpers will become season-less staples in my own wardrobe. Cashmere and silk printed scarves and hand beaded t-shirts compliment the line and form a solid foundation for the collection to grow next season.”

The line will be exclusively available from February 2010 in Harrods menswear designer department, as well as Matthew Williamson flagship stores and online at matthewwilliamson.co.uk.
