I have just recently noticed a new line at River Island called River Island Design Forum. Design Forum is a River Island initiative where it commissions fashion students and emerging talents to design a limited collection to be sold in select River Island stores (thank god Kuwait is one of them!!) under the Design Forum banner. I was quite impressed by some of the Design Forum pieces. There were some seriously cool shoes and dresses at very budget friendly prices of course, like this featured dress with sheer billowy sleeves (on the mannequin) which you can pair with a statement necklace and killer heels and no one would ever guess that it's from RI!! And these strappy beige and turquoise sandals with leather bow details designed by student Sophia Grace, I already have this name saved in my archives because from the looks of her designs, she's going to hit it big.

I always wished I featured him more. I couldn’t because his pieces are very exclusive and as far as I know not stocked anywhere here. This clearly isn't just another post on my obvious love for Mohammed Ashi’s designs or the quality of his clothes as I have done that previously. Ashi simply deserves his very own epic p...

I knooow! I was quite impressed! I think if the designer of the shoes starts manufacturing her designs at even a better quality factories, she will hit it big!
