River Island Christmas 2019: Electric Xmas

One of my favourite high street fashion retailers, River Island has always been at the top of its game. Each season they release a gorgoeus campaign alongside their collections, and for Christmas 2019, ‘Electric Xmas’ is fun, flirty and perfect for the festive season ahead! With a nod to the 1980s in both the campaign and the fashion, River Island have nailed the party season in one fabulous collection.
