The only details at the time were really just the release-date target of Milan Fashion Week in September. Well, Fesjon has learned a little more.

The hobo bags and clutches will be available in three styles in a faceted, gemstone-shaped embossed leather and even the bag’s silhouettes are angular and jewel-shaped. They’ll be offered in a palette of “rubellite pink, emerald green, and sapphire blue.”

Matthew Williamson debuted his first accessory collection in collaboration with Atelier Swarovski on the runway for spring 2010.

Williamson’s inspiration for the crystal cuffs, breastplate necklaces, and evening clutches was drawn from the artist Jim Lambie, who is best know for arranging brightly colored tape into geometric patterns. As a result the accessory collection consists of vibrantly colored, oversized graphic pieces.

For the spring collections Atelier Swarovski also worked with Zaha Hadid (zigzag-shaped rings), Jason Wu (sculptural necklaces) and Nicholas Kirkwood to create exclusive crystal jewelry and accessories. Past designer collaborations have included Christopher Kane, Doo.Ri Chung, Hussein Chalayan, Giles Deacon, Proenza Schouler, Rodarte, and Philip Crangi.

Designer Matthew Williamson is adding a menswear collection to his line for spring 2010. Williamson first menswear collection he made for the H&M collaboration. Now he has made a these more luxurious designs under his own label. The collection will feature cashmere sweaters, beaded T-shirts, tops and scarves with the colorful designer’s trademark prints. Watch for the collection to hit the designer’s flagship stores, online boutique as well as Harrod’s department store in London next month.

I was very surprised to discover that in H&M stores in Amsterdam the collection designed by Matthew Williamson wasn’t sold out. Different pieces, like the long and the short dress with the ruches and dozens of cardigans were still available, and even the accessories weren’t sold out. This while the collection was launched more than two days ago! Strange, because other designer collections for H&M, like the ones made by Viktor&Rolf and Roberto Cavalli, were sold out in no time.
