I wasn't too enthralled when i heard the news that Rihanna was to be designing a collection for River Island. I thought it would be aimed at the younger audience and really commercial - let's just say there wouldn't be anything i would be lusting after! I love Rihanna as an artist, purely for the fact i think she stays true to who she is, and doesn't really give a fuck about anyone else - getting back with Chris Brown for example, against the whole worlds wishes and i definitely respect her for that.
So, i'm really glad the collection reflects Rihanna as a person, it's a mixture of perfect basics that scream the effortless cool that Rihanna is renowned for. The collection is then blessed with the more out there designs of the double jeans, something unique and modern - followed by the black leather pendant backpack and the crazy denim shirt tied skirt! With Rihanna heavily rooted in Hip-hop, of course there was going to be a black baseball jacket.
All in all i was pleasantly suprised with Rihannas collection, it was kind of unexpected but expected at the same time? The silhouettes of the maxi dresses with the thigh splits, the half sleeve crops tops and the knot back turtle necks are just perfect. The collection comes together with the mix of basics, more statement pieces and ultra cool accessories.
These are the pieces I want to get my hands on!
P.s you can't go wrong when you've got the likes of Jourdan Dunn, Charlotte Free
