Runway Thoughts: Matthew Williamson

I’m looking today at Matthew Williamson’s fall 2006 collection. I’m not usually a big fan of his designs, but his dresses tend to be pretty.
Look! Color! I had almost forgotten what it looked like! I like the shape of this dress and the way the skirt swishes too. It’s a pretty design and looks like it should be comfortable.
And then there was this dress. And several like it. It’s just a bit too much for me. The metalic scale part of the dress is just so gaudy! There were some in gold too. And the ruffles. It’s just all so much! I can’t handle it!
Ok, I like the skirt on this dress, but I’m not sure about the bib top. I just can’t picture how it would work on a woman who actually had breasts and I can’t help but feel that it’s very baby-bib-ish. But I love the layered skirt, it looks really pretty.
Most of this collection was fairly unappealing to me, but it has elements that I like. I guess I just kind of felt “eh” about this collection. I can’t say I would buy any of it, but there are pieces that I might wear or take apart and modify to wear.
