Fashion: Bright lights

The best way to convince yourself that spring is here is to wear something bright and breezy. It worked for young British designer Matthew Williamson who stunned the fashion world with his tiny collection of clothes in fuchsia pink, turquoise and acid orange. Forget black and chocolate and find yourself a shade that well and truly clashes with your eyes. Styling by Sophia Neophitou.
