British designer Matthew Williamson took his Spring 2009 collection to New York Fashion Week yesterday presenting a line of beautifully structured dresses. Incorporating plenty of colour and spangle, the designer also used the opportunity to launch his accessories line.

Bright floral prints were trimmed with gold to create a boho party style that is sure to go down nicely in Ibiza next summer. His Pucci experience did not go unnoticed with references to the classic Italian style. Tribal detailing gave the floaty dresses more definition and edge.

Waists were clinched in with oversized or skinny belts. Trouser suits were bright yet tailored with 7/8th trousers and broad shouldered jackets. Williamson used brocade prints but updated with shots of metallic or neon pink. He also experimented with patent leather but softened it with soft, floral jackets and blouses.

With the return of Boho/Bopo, expect to see a lot more of Williamson and designs inspired by his work for next Spring.
