Rihanna Agrees To Design Capsule Collection With UK High Street Brand

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Rihanna will collaborate with London high street brand ‘River Island’ for a capsule collection launching Spring 2013.

The 24-year old entertainer has made no secret of her desire to enter the fashion industry. Armani was her first foray into design and now River Island. In a released statement the ‘Where Have You Been’ singer stated,

“I’ve been wanting to design my own collection for some time. River Island is the perfect partner for me to collaborate with and working with a British, family run business also really appealed to me,” added Rihanna. ” I find London really inspiring and River Island loves to have fun with clothes. I’m looking forward to working with them and creating something really special.”

River Island CEO Ben Lewis said, “”Rihanna is a style icon; from street to chic she enjoys her fashion. As soon as we started to work together we knew this was a perfect fit. Rihanna will be designing the collection and we will be sharing our fashion experience with her to develop a range her fans will love.”

Rumors of the collaboration began in late February when RiRi tweeted a photo from River Island’s London’s headquarters – see it below. With a confirmation from both sides Rihanna’s fans can expect to wait another 9 months before dressing like the rude girl!

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
