While mannequins wearing his bright clothing rotate hypnotically in the background, rakish-facial-hair-having designer Matthew Williamson discusses the thoughts behind his soon-to-debut H&M line. He says that he looked back through the archives of the past eleven years of his main brand and picked pieces he thought were "iconic", then reinterpreted them for the masses. One of his favorite looks? The electric-blue "trouser suit". Also, is that his men's H&M blazer he's wearing in the clip?
