Gossip Girl Inspired Window Display at Matthew Williamson in New York
Global Watch: Gossip Girl Fever Grips Matthew Williamson
Matthew Williamson has dedicated a window display in his New York store to Gossip Girl with a sign that reads 'What did Chuck do?' In an episode from the new series, Blair (played by Leighton Meester) stars in a scene where she shops in the boutique whilst wearing a silk halter dress from Williamson's Spring collection. Costume designer Eric Daman explained the use of Williamson's clothing in the show. "I wanted it to represent innocence, purity, vulnerability — characteristics that are not usually explored with Blair’s character. So the creamy draped chiffon was…[the] perfect incarnation to give a nod to Blair à la Joan of Arc or Fay Wray.” Are you surprised that Gossip Girl doesn't use its style credentials more?
