YMC creative director and founder Fraser Moss discusses working with River Island, sharing, “We had never worked with a high street brand before, but when the opportunity came to work with River Island, we were confident, it would be the right move.” Moss continues, “Our loyal following and heritage combined with River Island’s global audience made for the perfect partnership.” The collection will launch ahead of London Collections: Men next month in June.
