-About Chelsea Girl-

Chelsea Girl launched in 1965 - to associate the brand with the 1960s Kings Road scene (which is in Chelsea in London). It became River Island in 1988 or 1991 (sources differ, most say 1988, but River Island themselves say 1991). Then they launched a Chelsea Girl capsule collection within River Island stores in 2011.
