"Teresa Alfonso, Guinness’s personal assistant, tried to get her to eat some of the pasta that had been prepared for the production team. “If I eat, I can’t work,” Guinness, who had been subsisting on Red Bull and Ensure, said. “I’ll eat when I’m dead.”"

With New York Fashion Week finishing and London Fashion Week beginning everyone’s eyes are peeled for the newest, hottest trends seen on the runways. However, sometimes nothing can compare to finding a rare piece of vintage jewelry that carries with it a story and a connection to the past. 1stDibs.com is a wonderful site dedicated to bringing everything from rare vintage estate jewelry to beautiful home décor, and every once in a while I scour the catalogue for dream pieces.

London Fashion Week: Matthew Williamson Spring 2012 Ready-To-Wear Collection

It appears the Matthew Williamson collection is expanding far beyond the patrons of St Tropez and Nikki Beach. According to the designer himself, “this is a wardrobe for a woman wherever she may be.” – via Style.com

Anja Rubik opened the show walking to Lykke Li’s “I Follow Rivers” and it became apparent very quickly exactly what the collection would look like. The collection was filled with bright patterns, mixes of solids and prints, ostrich feathers, and silk pieces. The colour palette is perfect for the Spring and there is no doubt in my mind that his pieces will be seen everywhere come the warmer months.  

Perfect for traveling and going from day to night, once again Williamson proves himself to be the designer to rule the Spring runway. What works best with the new collection? Williamson picked Charlotte Olympia pumps to complete each look.
