Workaholic Matthew Williamson

Matthew Williamson admits his life has become consumed by work.

The designer is about to launch his debut menswear collection and says he's become obsessed with it, even though he knows it's unhealthy.

He said; "I'm working from eight in the morning till 10 at night every day right now. I don't really have much of a life, I really don't. I went out last night for the first time in god knows how long. I go home, eat my dinner and go to bed. It's not how I want to live forever; it's not healthy to be this consumed by your work."

Designing a full menswear line has always been a dream of Matthew's and says he was inspired to do it after creating a range for high street store H+M, which featured clothes for both men and women.

He told The New Review magazine: "I've always wanted to do menswear - it's never been a struggle to think about how it look, but I guess H+M is the reason for why now. That was a really nice project, as I got to deign clothes I could wear myself. And it sold well, so I was chuffed. It inspired the thought that it really could happen.

"This range is just us dipping our toe in to begin with. We'll see if people are interested, then hopefully we'll build on it."
