Rihanna shows off raunchy first fashion collection
UK: Pop star Rihanna showed off her first fashion collection on
Saturday in London, with a raunchy street-style range displayed to the
sound of thumping hip-hop beats. The Barbadian singer has said it was a
“dream come true” to design a line of clothes and accessories for the
high street chain River Island, a range which had its worldwide first
outing amid London Fashion Week and will hit the shops next month.
At the Old Sorting Office in London, the 24-year-old swapped a
catwalk for a stage separated into compartments which the models moved
between as hip-hop pumped out from the speakers.
The clothes on offer were street-style, with bra tops, dresses
slashed to the thighs, tummy-baring tank-tops and thigh-high boots.
Rihanna came out at the end to give the designer’s traditional bow
and wore a short black dress with sparking jewellery.
“I’ve wanted to design my own fashion line for a very long time,” she
said beforehand.
“This has been something I wanted to do ever since I started loving
fashion. I got passionate about it and I just felt like every time I saw
something on a rack there was something that I would want to do to it to
change it.
