River Island has announced CSM artist Margot Bowman as the latest collaborator on its Design Forum Initiative.

The graphic design artist has created a womenswear collection for SS17 comprising eight pieces. The capsule range plays with the idea of expressing and celebrating inner beauty by emphasising bold statements such as “come inside, it’s amazing” and “see” across the pieces.

“In fashion we always talk about the outside, we never celebrate what’s on the inside. It’s a collection that’s all about the inside, the amazing, unique, contradictory, complicated, ambiguous shapes, ideas and thoughts that fill us all up,” said Bowman.

Drawing elements from different media, including technology, music, animation and film, Bowman is known for creations that explore the relationship between humanity and digital technology.  

She has previously worked with Alexander McQueen, Diesel, Lacoste, Nike, Topshop, Urban Outfitters  and Converse, as well as with numerous magazines including AnOther and Dazed & Confused.

Her collection will launch on 19 February 2017 with prices starting from £25.
