The River Island Spring/Summer collection is launching with a campaign that focuses on liberation, friendship and loosened restrictions for the summer months. Unleash Your Vibe invites people to let their true selves shine after being cooped up, and the campaign drives this message home with four women who make up for lost time by having summer fun.
The Spring/Summer collection campaign from River Island shows scenes of people hugging one another, hotel hangouts, tennis court matches, dips in the pool and being in close proximity to others. Since people have been opting for comfortable clothing choices throughout the entire lockdown, the articles featured in the campaign focus on choices that are freeing and uplifting.
