Christopher Shannon is the latest designer to collaborate with River Island’s Design Forum, whose alumni include James Long, Joseph Turvey and Baartmans & Siegel. For his collection with the high street brand, Shannon has gone to where he knows best: re-inventing 90s apparel, best displayed by the incredible padded mix media pu~ a jacket. There are bum-bags to accessorise with and sturdy grunge boots for stomping in. Always one for a bit of frivolity, Shannon and River Island have plenty of sparkle including the glitter tee that’s both holographic and glitter appliqué panelled, along with glossy nylon jogging bottoms with a contrast side panel.
The 11 piece collection will launch this September in UK stores and online ranging from £30-£120
