A sneak peek at the River Island look-book I created to announce the launch – more at www.battletobritain.co.za
I’m super excited to announce the imminent launch of British fashion giant River Island in South Africa in July. The retailer will be opening its premier South African store in Rosebank, Johannesburg – with plans to expand to Cape Town in 2015. The Autumn/Winter 2014 range features 6 key themes: puritan, luxe traveller, 60s pastels, snow, noir and grey. I mean! And along with this exciting news; River Island have kindly offered one brandslut reader the opportunity to attend the epic Night of Fashion launch event on September 18th along with two friends. The winner will receive R900 to spend on the night plus two tickets to ensure they’ve got their entourage in tow.
Right, so this is how you enter…
1. Visit www.battletobritain.co.za
2. Vote on the look-book I’ve created as inspiration for the River Island launch. I decided to emulate the look and feel of the initial scamps that would have been created in planning the fabulous Autumn/Winter 2014 range and featured some my favourite pieces. The items I’ve sketched will all be available in store for purchase. Voting also offers you the opportunity to win additional vouchers, so there’s a double chance to win here – yay!
3. When you’ve voted for me, brandslut (thank you!), let me know by commenting on this blog post and letting me know you’ve voted. Your e-mail address won’t be published, but please do leave one so I can contact you if you’ve won.
That’s it, easy peasy lemon squeasy. Voting closes midnight on June 18th 2014, and I’ll announce my winner on Thursday the 19th 2014. Winners will need to be Johannesburg based or be able to get there for the event. However, so as not to exclude any readers from being able to participate – if you win but can’t make it on the night, I will happily be your personal shopper and grab you those items you’ve been coveting. I will send you the catalogue to choose from if you can’t make it.
Fingers crossed and thanks again for your vote, it means the earth.
brandslut xoxo
