High street fashion retailer River Island has announced the launch of Studio, a premium collection that focuses on sophisticated investment pieces. The Studio line offers pieces made from the best fabrics, construction and exclusive stand-out shapes. Formed of 20 pieces, the collection is comprised of chic tailoring and separates, each created by the brand's in-house design team. Pieces include the biker silk blouse, pinstripe culottes, cashmere cape jumper and cape-suit jacket. The colour palette has been restricted to darker hues, including charcoals and black with oatmeal and putty highlights. Key fabrics include wool, cashmere, silk and shearling, with the eveningwear focusing on fitted knitted dresses and flared trousers, as well as gold zip details. Prices for Studio range from £60 for the A-Line Skirt to £395 for the Brushed Shearling Gilet. The exclusive collection will be available in a limited number of stores and online at riverisland.com from the beginning of November.

In addition, River Island's press office will be temporarily moving offices for a week from 2-6 November. Please don't send any returns for this week. Store appointments will run as normal as will any call ins or requests. The showroom will be closed.
