Rihanna is set to debut her high-fashion line later this month.
The 31-year-old R&B superstar has enjoyed significant success with her Fenty Beauty line, Puma collaboration and Savage x Fenty lingerie collection, and now Rihanna has announced that she will release a luxury fashion line and present her first collection, which will be branded Fenty, later this month in Paris, according to Business of Fashion.
And the ‘Work’ songstress – who is working with LVMH (Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton) to launch a luxury house under her name – revealed that designing the much-anticipated range has been an “incredibly special moment” for her. She took to Twitter, sharing what some speculate to be the brand’s logo.
Referring to LVMH Chairman and Chief Executive Bernard Arnault, Rihanna said in a statement: “Designing a line like this with LVMH is an incredibly special moment for us. Mr. Arnault has given me a unique opportunity to develop a fashion house in the luxury sector, with no artistic limits. I couldn’t imagine a better partner both creatively and business-wise, and I’m ready for the world to see what we have built together.”
Rihanna’s collection will include ready-to-wear and accessories, including shoes, sunglasses, and jewelry.
LVMH – which already houses Fenty Beauty by Rihanna – is home to some of the world’s most prestigious brands and includes Christian Dior, Marc Jacobs, Givenchy, and Louis Vuitton, and Arnault admitted that the partnership to create a high-fashion line happened “naturally” because the singer is a “true entrepreneur”.
He added: “Everybody knows Rihanna as a wonderful singer, but through our partnership at Fenty Beauty, I discovered a true entrepreneur, a real CEO, and a terrific leader. She naturally finds her full place within LVMH.
“To support Rihanna to start up the Fenty Maison, we have built a talented and multicultural team supported by the group resources. I am proud that LVMH is leading this venture and wish it will be a great success.”
