If you missed out on snapping up a piece of Matthew Williamson's first H&M collection, then never fear, as the second instalment proves just as swoon-worthy.

With model Daria Werbowy back as Matthew's muse, the stunning campaign will have you lusting for warmer climates, shot on a beach with Williamson's vibrant designs providing the perfect holiday wardrobe.

But she's not the only model smouldering for Williamson's high street fashion fix. The designer himself gets his pout on as the face of the collection's menswear, marking his first foray into designing for the boys.

Commenting on the summer styles, he explained, 'This summer collection really embraces the holiday lifestyle. The silhouette is softened with the addition of long flowing dresses, smocks and kaftans in weightless fabric. I would hope to share a glimpse of the Matthew Williamson world, and to provide the perfect wardrobe options for summer 2009.'

The range is set to land in even more H&M stores than the first drop, making Williamson's collection the most widely available in H&M's designer collaboration history. Hurrah!
