STYLE INSIDER AUTUMN 2013 3

Borrow from the boys (and still look like a lady) His is hers in our Masculine trend.

Razor sharp tailoring, oversized coats and soft knits combine to create a sophisticated look with androgynous appeal.

Don’t shy away from Savile Rowinspired tailoring; look to style setters for inspiration on how to make it work for you. Soft pastel shades and luxurious knitwear add a feminine touch to tailoring that works both in and out of office.

If tailoring isn’t your thing, our pinstripe jumpsuit is your one-piece solution to mastering the trend. Slip it on with heels for power dressing at its best.

Laidback and fuss-free, this is off-duty style just as we like it Off-duty and on-trend is how we’d sum up Workhouse. Centred on casual separates like sweaters, shirts and beanies, this is downtime dressing but not as you know it.

The styles may well be familiar, but it’s the bold prints, innovative styling and grunge aesthetic that ensure Workhouse is one to watch for the new season.

Checks, leopard print and graphic motifs dominate the trend, with a mash up of all three the hottest way to wear them.

A laid back leopard satchel or high tops will add a subtle sartorial nod to the trend, while our checked wool coat remains the hero piece for Workhouse.

Dress to excess and get ready to shine!

Autumn is only just beginning but we’ve already got party season on our minds, with high shine metallics, chic embellishment and luxurious fabrics adding a touch of glamour to day-today style.

There’s no such thing as too much with Supernova – take a maximalist approach to dressing and go all out with patterns and prints from headto-toe. Play around with texture and mix leather, lurex, velvet and jacquard fabrics for an outfit that feels as good as it looks.

Ornate knits and tailored trousers are central to this trend; paired with glossy gold brogues they’ll ensure everyday ensembles exude glamour. Shine on!

Modern and minimal, Bauhaus is our directional autumn trend with artistic influences. Architectural shapes, geometric patterns and colour blocking are key; look to structured, vibrant accessories for a subtle nod to the trend, or fully embrace it in our statement colour block dress.

The beauty of Bauhaus is its effortless elegance; throw a boyfriend blazer over a simple white shirt or offset black trousers with a crombie wool coat. The styles may be simple but it’s the details that bring Bauhaus into its own, with texture and colour playing a pivotal role in the trend’s appeal. A blend of wool, scuba and wet look fabrics add impact to a minimal palette, while cobalt and orange accents play up the season’s most refreshing trend.

LEWWELCOME TO HIRRIHANNA FOR RIVER ISLAND

We’re already halfway through our design collaboration with Rihanna but there’s still so much more to come, starting with her third collection of 2013 for autumn.

This season Rih turns her wear influx and her own signature urban aesthetic with a sexy edge: the style resurgence she champions in her day-today wear and also personally influences on a huge scale.

The result is a comprehensive collection of over sixty separates that encompass Rihanna and her natural, covetable style.

Pick up a copy of our Rihanna for River Island magazine in store for a comprehensive look at the collection including the Limited Edition styles available exclusively online. You’ll also see Rih’s autumn ad campaign and an exclusive competition for your chance to win a trip to Barbados.
