KATIE EARY is teaming up with River
Island as the high-street chain's latest
Design Forum collaborator. The
British designer has created an 18-
piece collection, which will land in
stores on February 17.
The Royal College of Art graduate -
who previously worked with Kanye
West, as well as running her
eponymous label - was inspired by
Hunter S Thompson's Fear and
Loathing in Las Vegas for the project,
resulting in plenty of vibrant colour,
sheer fabrics and statement
accessories.
"In my story it wasn't Johnny Depp on
a crazy hallucinatory journey through
the desert - instead it was my muse -
the strong woman," said Eary. "I then
went on to design looks for her while
she was on this journey. It all became
very tribal dipped in gold."
The range features maxi dresses
covered in animal prints; skirts with
thigh-high splits; dipped-hem T-shirts
and blouses with billowing sleeves.
Prices range from £15 to £120.
"River Island connects to the cool type
of women which suits my project; all
those independent, sexy, powerful
women who frequent River Island,"
continued Eary. "Naturally, I thought
that we were a perfect match."
