River Island signs Phlo Finister for Chelsea Girl 

 

River Island has announced the sigining of up and coming US singer/songwriter, Phlo Finister for Chelsea Girl Christmas 2013. With the combination of Phlo’s distinctive 60s mod style and River Island’s new-vintage inspired Chelsea Girl collection, the collaboration sees Californian born Phlo Finister fuse her own style and influences to create the looks for the campaign. For Christmas 2013, Chelsea Girl rediscovers the 60’s with a clean and feminine approach. Dresses are key for this season with leather pinafores, velvet swing dresses and fringed shifts. Injections of colour brighten up the classic monochrome palette with bursts of emerald green, citrus yellow and bubble-gum pink. Novelty knitwear is teamed with simple black skirts and leggings for everyday wear, whilst trapeze and body-con dresses are coated with glitter for disco inspired eveningwear. Accessorising is essential to complete the looks with brightly coloured tights and knee-high boots being key. Chelsea Girl signature pieces complete the range with oversized cardigans, lace smock dresses and vintage inspired jumpsuits. Finishing touches add depth to the pieces with bell sleeves, pussy-bow ties and applique detailing. To coincide with the collection launch, Phlo will be performing live in River Island’s new flagship store, Park House on November 21 2013.
