River Island collaborates with William Tempest for AW12




River Island Design Forum returns for AW12, with a collection of specially commissioned pieces created by William Tempest. William’s exclusive range for River Island draws inspiration from ancient Egyptian mythology, 1920's interiors and the work of M. C. Escher. Key pieces from the collection of eveningwear separates and accessories, include a sequinned chiffon shirt dress, an art-deco plunge back column dress and laser cut heels. Black and nude fabrics with opaque contrasts feature heavily alongside textiles designed exclusively for the collection, including a tessellated design and a geometric art deco pattern. The scarab beetle, a symbol of wealth and power for ancient Egyptians, acts as a motif which runs throughout the range via prints and finishes. The collection will make its debut via a short film at London Fashion Week's second biannual festival. FASH/ON FILM, an initiative devised by the British Fashion Council in conjunction with River Island, aiming to support and develop creative film in the industry. The 13 piece collection will be available in selected River Island stores and online at riverisland.com from October.
