MATTHEW WILLIAMSON may have plenty of celebrity friends, but rather than loving him for his irresistible dresses - it seems they may be after his mother.
"I've got armfuls of friends who are closer to my mum than they are to me," Williamson admits. "They all love her to pieces. She considers Joseph, my business partner as another son. He took her to the cinema the other night and she and my dad often stay with him."
And the designer admits that he would not be where he is today if his parents hadn't moved in with him and helped with the business.
"Dad did the deliveries and Mum manned the phone and sewed dragonflies on to cashmere cardigans," Williamson told the Times. "Later she ran the boutique, and she'd chat with people and make them cups of tea. To this day Kylie will say: 'How's your mum?'"
