About 

 

Matthew Williamson is an internationally recognised British designer celebrated for his bold use of colour, intricate print and glamorous, bohemian sensibility. A graduate of Central Saint Martins, he launched his namesake international fashion brand in 1997 with business partner Joseph Velosa, debuting with the now-iconic Electric Angels collection at London Fashion Week, modelled by Kate Moss, Helena Christensen and Jade Jagger. The collection marked the arrival of one of Britain’s most distinctive creative voices, establishing Williamson’s reputation for expressive design, joyful colour and highly decorative storytelling.

​

Over the following decades, Williamson built a global fashion house, showing internationally and dressing some of the most recognisable women in fashion, music and film. His work has been honoured with major industry accolades, including the British Fashion Council’s NEWGEN award, Elle Designer of the Year and Red Carpet Designer of the Year at the British Fashion Awards. He also served as Creative Director of Emilio Pucci, a natural fit for a designer whose work has always embraced pattern, movement and kaleidoscopic colour.

Today, Williamson’s practice extends across fashion, interiors, furniture, product design and lifestyle. His design language has translated into acclaimed collaborations and projects with brands and institutions including Free People, Osborne & Little, Duresta, John Lewis, Pooky, Ruggable, C.P. Hart, Belmond La Residencia, Dusty Deco and the Design Museum London. His interiors work brings together vintage pieces, bespoke design, rich palettes and layered textures to create spaces with atmosphere, warmth and personality.

In 2026, Williamson was commissioned to design the BRIT Awards trophy, bringing his creative vision back to his hometown of Manchester for a historic ceremony held in the city for the first time. The commission reflects the continued cultural relevance of his work and his ability to create design moments that sit at the intersection of fashion, art, music and contemporary culture.

Caserra 71 marks the next chapter in Matthew Williamson’s personal creative journey. Set in Deià, Mallorca, Williamson has launched a lifestyle concept store which brings together fashion, interiors, art and vintage curation through a deeply personal edit of clothing, accessories and objects. Rather than presenting a traditional seasonal collection, Caserra 71 offers a layered wardrobe where past and present coexist: Matthew Williamson archive pieces, vintage one-offs, pre-loved discoveries and contemporary labels sit side by side.​

Matthew Williamson’s distinctive style and creative direction continue to shape the face of design through collaborations that move seamlessly between fashion, interiors, art and lifestyle. His work brings a recognisable sense of colour, pattern, atmosphere and storytelling to every partnership, creating collections and spaces that feel expressive, immersive and emotionally resonant. For brands, Williamson offers more than a visual signature; he brings a complete creative vision, one that transforms products, environments and experiences into richly layered stories with lasting cultural appeal.
