Ashley Williams Spring 2018 Ready-To-Wear ....Fashionweekly...On Fow24news.com

She’s a girl who speaks to girls: We know that about Ashley Williams. Underlying her work are shared references affirming the complicated business of growing up to womanhood without quite wanting to leave childish, playful things behind.....
Her summer show brought her gang together again—Georgia May Jagger, Lili Sumner, and designer-artist Claire Barrow walked for her, against the backdrop of a set which included lime net curtains, fluffy stuffed toys, and a table arrangement of crystals.

The substance of the clothing wasn’t complicated—Williams does accessible dresses, occasionally trimmed with a bit of marabou, ’80s New Wave–ish tailoring, zebra prints, corseted tops, and high-waisted track pants. There’s fun, and a sense of emotional damage somewhere—‘Paranoia’ prints; hair clips which read ‘Hate’ and ‘Love’; ‘Ecstasy’ in a heart on a sweater. If Williams didn’t break any new ground, it was what her friendship group, which stretches from London to L.A., wants to wear.
