After a successful run with Sibling, Katie Eary and Rihanna, River Island launched
their annual Design Forum collaboration for 2017 with British jewelry designer Dominic Jones. The range of nine limited edition accessories was
inspired by the Venus Fly Trap.
“Itʼs a celebration of the beauty in the oddity of life, subverting the
grotesque, and presenting them as the beautiful. The collection has a real
sense of humour, pieces are fun and witty but also desirable and detailed.”
- Dominic Jones
on the collection
WSS was brought on by director Joachim Johnson to produce a short film with
model Ashley Smiththat featured the accessories in an abstract, playful manner.
The piece aired during London Fashion Weekʼs Fashion Film event as part of the British Fashion Councilʼs Fashion Film initiative. Sponsored by River Island, the
initiative aims to develop relationships between fashion designers and filmmakers
and recognizes the ongoing development of fashion film as an important medium
in the industry.
