Her Name Is Rihanna.

Is not a secret that Rihanna is a diva. Since when her first single "Pon On Replay” reached the Billboard Hot 100 a decade ago, the singer showed to the world that she didn’t came to joke.

Besides her talent as an artist, Rihanna is also considered a fashion icon. And you want to know the best part? She just launched her first fashion collection and it’s absurdly amazing.

Always adventuring herself with something new, Rihanna is the kind of person that dresses anything she wants, breaking all the standards and avoiding the classic, the basic.

Yes, she transcends her personality through her outfits, that are never boring. Instead, it’s almost like watching your favorite movie: compelling and always surprising.

Do you remember how stunning was she on Met Gala, last year? The theme was Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination and, among many outrageous Looks, she was the one who got all the attention.

Almost like an embodiment of the God of fashion.


The year is 2019 and, unfortunately, one of the biggest fashion industry’s taboos is the women body. Yes, the industry still tries to emphasize and implies that the attractive body is the skinny one. And the worst part of this is that many designers agree with it.

Well, this is exactly what Rihanna are trying to fight against on her first work as fashion designer.


“This one made look snatches in my waist and my butt look bigger”

Those are the words that Rihanna used to explain her outfit in a recent interview for Vogue Magazine about her new clothing line, Fenty:


“It’s really sometimes not about your closet. You could have all the clothes in the world and it’s like: What Does My Body Want to Wear Today?”


Besides the women’s confidence, Fenty also values the diversity – and by diversity you can ready all kinds of them. The team, the models... Everything enriches the diversity that our world are begging for.


Opportunities for young professional is another great thing that this collection brings to the fashion industry. Her style director, Jahleen Weaver, explains that the fashion collection opened many doors for many different people.


“The collection says that you can be anywhere and be a part of this world. Is to feel that you are also represented in a space that, maybe, you didn’t feel that way before”.


Rihanna is someone who has always been creative, and we can see it expressed in her music, her style, her personality and now, in her new brand.


More than confidence and power, she is bringing a new era to the fashion world.


Well, we are loving it.
