Matthew Williamson releases short film


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.”

Anne Hathaway weds Adam Shulman

The rumours have been confirmed – Anne Hathaway married Adam Shulman on Sunday evening in a gorgeous, vintage-inspired Valentino gown. Describing her as “like my daughter,” Valentino created a specially-made dress for Anne to wear for her intimate, California wedding last weekend, where around 150 guests attended.
The luxurious wedding started on Friday evening at the Ventana Inn and Spa where the rehearsal dinner took place. The wedding itself was then held on a private estate nearby on Sunday, with just close friends and family attending.  
After confirming their engagement last November, Hathaway was soon showing off a diamond ring designed by her husband-to-be, a signifier of what was to come perhaps?
The couple are said to have enlisted the help of many designers, planners and friends to help organise the big day, including Yifat Oren and Stephanie Cove, both of which helped plan Natalie Portman’s wedding earlier this year.
And not forgetting the most important part, the gown. An off-the-shoulder, vintage-inspired dress with a full-length veil and headpiece that couldn’t have suited Anne any better. The lace detailing gave the dress its innocent finish, perfect for Anne’s down-to-earth personality. It was the perfect dress and the cherry on top of the cake for this wedding.
