River Island Christmas Collection

It makes me as unhappy as a kid with no presents that we're already thinking about Christmas. Summer hasn't finished and the Sales are still on, but ho ho ho, here we go. River Island put a scattering of snow on the proceedings yesterday and got press in the festive mood, by moulding glitz-glam platforms into an ice carving and unwrapping a selection of cocktail dresses. Lace, luxe fabrics and referencing the 1970s continues to be important.
