River Island Autumn/Winter 2011 Preview

What a fabulous sunny day.....a great excuse to take a break from the office and pay an ever pleasurable visit to River Island's Press Office where their PR contact Emma was launching RI's Autumn/Winter collections for Women, Men and Kiddies. All the strange thoughts of looking at winter woollies on such a warm summers day, were immediately cast aside once I captured sight of the rainbow of colour on each rail. All  my favourite colours; purples, teals and mustards are the predominent hues throughout the collections for both women and men. These are great hues for mixing with your neutrals and work particularly well when mixed together.



Absolutely fallen in love with this dress; delicious colour, amazing corsage detail and it's hard to see in this pic but there's a rust colour lining that shows through with movement.





Coloured jeans in mustard and rust see Spring/Summers trend continue for Autumn/Winter but with a more flattering straight leg cut than this seasons skinnys




Textures (fur, feathers, wool) are key for A/W and what better way to tap into this trend than with accessories

Here come the men................



Layers, layers and more layers




Chunky knits, duffle coats, tweeds and check shirts, everything you need for the great outdoors





Boots are a big seller for RI and I have a feeling this pair will be no different


Here's a quick taster of River Islands childrens wear................

When departing I took with me their press brochure and once I made it back to my office I snapped some of my favourite looks for both Women and Men.





River Island's Autumn/Winter 2011 Collections will begin hitting their stores from mid July.
