September is a significant month in the Fashion calendar. It marks the start of a new season; new trends, newer and bigger magazine issues hitting our stands and a new spring in our step, quite literally with the Spring 14 collections parading the runways later this month! Here in the Zalora offices we have our screens ready to hone in and devour the September shows! In addition to this we are giddy with excitement at the much anticipated arrival of leading high street fashion retailer, River Island to Zalora! We are thrilled to be the brand’s first online partner in Singapore and Malaysia. See the super stylish preview collection in our Raving for River Island feature (page 9) and discover River Island in depth in our Brand Story feature on page 18. We bask in all things British, in our Brit Cool feature on Page 21 and give you full permission to ogle at our too-cool-for-school River Island Menswear collection in our Men’s Issue (page 24 – 34). Happy new season!
