River Island’s first foray into London Fashion Week took place this weekend as we teamed up with the British Fashion Council to launch FASH/ON FILM festival.
FASH/ON FILM is a new initiative created to support and develop fashion film, providing a showcasing opportunity at London Fashion Week. We introduced FASH/ON FILM to the fashion press on Friday night before hosting a movie night at The May Fair Hotel on Saturday, where we screened the London premiere of “Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has To Travel”, an amazing biopic on the renowned ex-Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar editor.
As part of the FASH/ON FILM festival launch, designer Julian J Smith unveiled his River Island Design Forum collection via a short film which will be screened throughout London Fashion Week. If you’re lucky enough to be at London Fashion Week this week, you can catch Julian’s Design Forum film alongside other films from the festival in the Canon Cinema at Somerset House. Alternatively, you can also watch Julian’s film below. Enjoy!
Join us in our stores across the country as ELLE’s fashion team present the hottest River Island looks for the season ahead with a live catwalk show. Guests will also be treated to complimentary cocktails, a free manicure and shoppers who spend over £50 will receive a goody bag (while stocks last). Entry is free and open to all – we hope to see you there!
To celebrate the launch of the new Chelsea Girl spring collection and our collaboration with the stars of Made in Chelsea, we’ve got a MAJOR competition for you. We’re giving one winner and a friend the chance to live like the Made in Chelsea girls for a day! Wondering what that entails if you are the chosen winner? Read on for full details.
First up, you’ll travel to London and check in at the beautiful Wyndham Grand London hotel which is just moments from the famous King’s Road (the old home of our first ever Chelsea Girl store) and boasts spectacular views over Chelsea Harbour, The River Thames and London’s skyline.
