Meg Mathews has come a long way since her 'Cool Britannia' days and her marraige and subsequent divorce from, Noel Gallagher. Once famously known for her partying ways, the mother of two has since reinvented herself as a wallpaper and vintage-inspired upholsterd furniture designer.
How did this come about? Well Mathews says that she was 'redecorating my room after I came out of rehab and when I was told it wasn't possible to have the whole room wallpapered in Swaroski crystals, I decided I'd just do it myself'. Mathews approached the buyers at Liberty and pitched her idea to them and the rest, as they say, is history.
Inspired by her favourite fashion motifs including snakes and skulls, Mathews set to work and developed a range for Liberty's Prints Charming exhibition. The collection, priced at £89 per meter, is on sale now at Libertys and if her celebrity clientelle, including Victoria Beckham, is anything to go by, it would seem that the sky is the limit for Miss Mathews.
