The new River Island Design Forum collection has now hit selected stores and is available online now! Supporting this collection, which was created in-house by talented new designers, we have the wonderful and uber cool singer/songwriter Sunday Girl!




Sunday Girl, who is performing a River Island Session in our Newcastle store on Wednesday, loved this Design Forum collection of gorgeous bodycon dresses and illustrated jersey pieces. She also loved how River Island is helping up and coming talent like herself.

The latest River Island Design Forum collection, as worn by singer Paloma Faith, has just hit River Island stores and the website!

This collection was created in-house by members of the River Island design team and we thought Paloma was the perfect girl to showcase the cute and kitsch looks. Watch the video below to see her on the photoshoot…



Paloma’s passionately supports young design talent so she’s the perfect ambassador for this collection. And we’re sure you’ll agree with us that she looks pretty amazing too!

New in for River Island Design Forum we have a gorgeous collection of shoes as designed by student Sophia Grace.

Sophia Grace won The Browns Shoe Competition for one of her shoe designs and saw her winning design sold in the London boutique in 2009. ELLE have also tipped her to be “destined for big things” so we were very pleased when Sophia joined us at River Island HQ to create shoes especially for Design Forum. If you like her designs, you can buy them now in selected River Island stores and online by clicking on the images above.
