Christmas comes early as River Island unveils its upcoming collection. Ringing in the holidays with sharp silhouettes and modern details, the British brand taps model Janis Ancens to showcase its latest styles. Three ideas come together to define the direction of River Island’s holiday range: Carnaby Street, Uniform and Winter Neutrals.

Providing a formal edge for the season, Carnaby Street brings together tailoring with a rock ‘n’ roll flair. Velvet blazers and jacquard suiting is contrasted against acid wash denim and printed shirts.

Meanwhile, Uniform masters a casual attitude with simple lines and modern essentials such as cropped trousers and joggers. MA1 bomber jackets and other staples contribute to the range as well.

Rounding out its new collection, River Island finds its footing with Winter Neutrals. Inspired by the outdoors and Nordic style, contrasting textures and earthy hues result in standouts such as a flight jacket or coordinating sweater and joggers.
