Belvedere & Matthew Williamson Team Up for Summer

Belvedere Vodka has long had its hand in the world of fashion, as a longtime force behind Fashion Week after parties. Now they're literally dabbling in design, partnering up with noted arbiter of style Matthew Williamson, to release a limited edition kaftan in celebration of Belvedere Vodka's new flavor, Pink Grapefruit.

"My design for the Belvedere Pink Grapefruit collaboration was inspired by the vitality of sultry high summer evenings," said Williamson. "Incorporating a vibrant sun-drenched palette, the print is evocative of exotic destinations ventured by the modern-day, global traveler."

Williamson's kaftans are effortless and versatile, made from delicate, lightweight silk that's perfect to wear from the Hamptons to Dubai. And his collaboration with Belvedere sets the tone for a fun and chic lifestyle and both brands emulate. These bright neon colors and lively tropical pattern are already making me yearn for hot summer nights.

"I am thrilled to collaborate with a brand like Belvedere, which embodies a contemporary sense of luxury and vigor," said Williamson, "and the limited-edition kaftan was designed particularly with that kind of woman in Mind." MisShapes' DJ Leigh Lezark will model the kaftan for a launch party in May. You can pick up the kaftan at Matthew Williamson Stores and online beginning May 13th, the official launch date of Belvedere Pink Grapefruit vodka.

Bulgari has designed ultra-pricey handbags for a while but they haven't had an official designer at the helm. Vogue UK reports that the Italian jewelry brand has tapped British fashion designer Matthew Williamson to design a handbag collection for spring/summer 2011. The capsule collection will be shown during Milan Fashion Week in September. Williamson is known for his exuberant sense of color which eventually led to his stint as creative director at Pucci. In a press release Bulgari's CEO Francesco Trapani commented: "We chose Matthew Williamson for the great sense of color and design he brings to his work which resonates with our brand's rich history".

Zebra-Print Ponyskin Clutch, Handbag of the Day

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

Zebra is a fairly 'seasonless' pattern but that pop of coral makes this Zebra-Print Clutch by Matthew Williamson look springy to me, not really summer-going-into-fall. But nevertheless it's a good looking bag in a simple, classy shape with an almost geometric version of zebra done in pony skin leather. The coral on top is actually a large acetate clasp embossed with the designer's logo, and the leather lining is also done in coral with more designer embossing on the interior and no pockets. This hard-box style clutch has no shoulder strap but a short leather wristlet instead. $1.595
