We ask Matthew..

What's your favourite piece from the collection?

MW: The sequin dress - it's perfect for the party season and, when worn with the leather biker jacket, it makes a great rock-chick outfit.

What inspired the designs?

MW: They are quite glam rock - there are firework prints, glittery metallics, skinny biker jeans, studded-all-over dresses and evening dresses with lots of embellishments.

Bare legs or opaque tights this season?

MW: Both - a little black dress or my sequin dress look fantastic with classic black opaques. Or dare go bare and wear with open-toed boots and sandals.

How do you wear sequins in the daytime?

MW: A beaded tie-dye rock T-shirt is a great way to bring embellishment to a daytime look.

What shoes do you recommend for winter with dresses?

MW: Platform gladiator gladiator

(Latin; swordsman)

Professional combatant in ancient Rome who engaged in fights to the death as sport. Gladiators originally performed at Etruscan funerals, the intent being to give the dead man armed attendants in the next world.
