Superstar and fashion icon, Rihanna is releasing her brand spanking new River Island summer collection on May 25th. This high summer collection will be huge, and to get us all excited, the high street giants have released a behind the scenes video. It features RiRi herself collaborating with the River Island team and shows us how enthusiastic she is about her signature pieces. She explains the reasons and concepts behind her specific choices, which include “timeless” florals and retro tie-dyes.
“I just wanted stuff that I wanted to wear because at the end of the day that’s what got me into designing – seeing things on the rack that were great, but that could have been a little more me,” said the ‘Diamonds’ hit maker.
“Maybe they could have been a little longer or shorter, or have a little more sex appeal or a little less. I wanted to make clothes for fat days; stuff that I want to wear. I was being selfish. Hopefully, my friends and people who shop at River Island will have the same taste.” she continued.
The barbadian beauty’s ‘gangsta’ style resonates throughout this collection making it fresh and unique. Her first collection was simple, fairly safe but this one seems to push through the boundaries, which is why we can’t wait to get our hands on it! So be ready on May 25th to visit here.
