NOT SO BASIC “I like to put a modern twist on classic pieces. A white shirt and ripped jeans are wardrobe staples, but the asymmetric hem on this shirt teamed with a pair of snake print heels gives the look a whole new edge.

It definitely has to be South Korea. How do you unwind after a long day shooting? I usually go home, have some food, lie on my bed and watch Netflix.

Lucy Williams
FASHIONMENOW.CO.UK Have you ever fancied taking a sneak peek inside the homes of your favourite bloggers? We’ve done just that in our latest series, At Home With.... First up is fashion and travel blogger Lucy Williams who took us on a tour inside her Notting Hill home and her autumn wardrobe… With her enviable style and impeccable taste, we couldn’t wait to go behind-the-scenes of the Fashion Me Now headquarters. If Lucy’s blog is anything to go by, we were sure her home would be just as carefully curated and extremely stylish. “When it comes to my wardrobe, I like mixing key investment pieces with one-off finds from markets, vintage stores and the high street. The ‘70s has always been one of my favourite decades for style so this season’s fringing, suede and warm nudes and browns were an immediate hit with me. As for my house, I like it to look homely and interesting with lots of different bits and pieces picked up from my travels. I work from home so I need a creative space that’s versatile, inspiring and comfortable.” With a penchant for travelling, it was no surprise to see a combination of trinkets from her favourite destinations nestled amongst her many stylish home furnishings and of course, piles and piles of Vogue magazines. If you’re a regular reader of the blog, you’ll know that Lucy always puts a unique spin on the season’s key pieces. Bell sleeved tops, Chelsea boots, leather and fringing are amongst her autumn wardrobe, take a look at how she’ll be wearing them this season and check out her top picks.

ZOË JORDAN HER DRAMATIC COLLECTION FOR DESIGN
THE COLLECTION
PRESENTS YET ELEGANT RIVER ISLAND FORUM
After being shortlisted for the 2012 BFC/Vogue Designer Fashion Fund and MAIN PHOTOGRAPHS: STEFAN HEINRICHS @ INDUSTRY ART| FASHION: PHOEBE ARNOLD| HAIR: CHI WONG @ JULIAN WATSON| MAKE UP: CIARA O SHEA @ LGA| MODEL: ANNE VERHALLEN @ SELECT| SPECIAL EFFECTS: MTFX
with A-listers such as Cara Delevingne, Sienna Miller and Lady Gaga as fans of her label, it’s surprising to hear that Zoë Jordan started out as a bond trader in the city. After embarking upon an exciting and promising career as a fashion designer, Zoë’s first season was launched in 2012 and debuted at London Fashion Week in 2014. Now joining the likes of Jean-Pierre Braganza and Eudon Choi as the latest designer to collaborate with us on our Design Forum initiative, Zoë is in great company. The 11-piece capsule collection designed exclusively for River Island demonstrates Jordan’s core design characteristics of clean lines and texture. Natural elements are juxtaposed with man-made materials to create a collection that harbours a dramatic tone with subtle elegance. Smoke printed maxi dresses and cotton tees are intertwined with leather
“I want the urban customer of the future to find inspiration in this collection. Whilst the overall aesthetic has a tomboyish attitude and offbeat style, pieces such as the leather tape top and the leather dress evoke natural confidence and ease in anyone.” Zoë Jordan, Designer
£95 674204

DRESS £80 674154
dresses and knitted jumpers. The collection combines the organic with the manufactured; androgynous cargo shorts, a leather cut tee and a tailored two-piece suit illustrate Jordan’s signature style, whilst the faux fur bolero and statement patent leather parka make the collection ready for winter. Inspired by the Deep Purple lyrics “Smoke on the water, fire in the sky,” the £35 671442
collection features misty prints, charcoal hues and a striking ombré effect. The Zoë Jordan girl is “sophisticated with natural confidence, wit, spirit and a boyish element,” all qualities weaved into this collection via a range of statement pieces. WE CAUGHT UP WITH ZOË TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THE COLLECTION AND WHERE SHE SEES HERSELF IN FIVE YEARS’ TIME...
£60 671458
WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE PIECE FROM THE COLLECTION AND WHY? It’s hard to choose, but the gunmetal leather t-shirt is a statement piece that will stand the test of time. WHAT HAS BEEN THE BEST THING ABOUT COLLABORATING WITH RIVER ISLAND AS PART OF DESIGN FORUM? To get an insight into this area of fashion. It’s been a great learning experience that I’ve relished. Not having to action the production is also a bonus!
£250 671451
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE ZOË JORDAN GIRL? The boys’ best friend and the girls’ confidante. DO YOU HAVE A MUSE? I have both family and friends who inspire me, but I wouldn’t say I have one muse. It’s more about an attitude for me, that of natural confidence rather
BOLERO £65 671796
than a specific look I would say. WHAT KIND OF GIRL DO YOU ENVISAGE WEARING YOUR RANGE?
£65 671434
Someone who is at ease with herself and has a glint in her eye. WHAT DO YOU THINK MAKES THIS COLLECTION STAND OUT? I think the textures really bring the collection to life. Pieces are made from great leathers and high quality fabrics. WHERE DO YOU SEE YOUR LABEL IN FIVE YEARS’ TIME?
£160 671943
I see stand alone stores, a little unisex collection and cool caps. I hope to still be challenging myself and growing the brand.
THE COLLECTION WILL BE AVAILABLE TO BUY IN SELECTED STORES AND AT RIVERISLAND.COM FROM SEPTEMBER
