NEW YORK, Feb 17, 2003/ FW/ --- London-based designer Matthew Williamson captured the mood of the moment at the tents with the bright colors of his collection inspired by art deco.

Williamson who is known for his keen eye for color mixed lilac, mint green, pale pink and off-white in the prints, embroidery and solid color combinations.

The result - a sherbet collection, almost eye-candy that will surely stand out during Fall when the colors are more somber and murky.

Supermodel Helena Christensen who is Williamson's friend and sometimes muse flew over to give support to the designer to whom she had also modeled for in London.

Wearing a sheer chiffon top and mini skirt, Christensen's get up was a harbinger for the evening wear section which turned out to be quite lovely.

Notable piece was the zigzag print skirt matched with fitted long sleeved top and white short crop jacket.

This one will surely be a favorite not only among the ladies who lunch, but to the young college graduates looking for jobs this fall.
