This Is How We Expected Rihanna to Wear Dior
Rihanna will reportedly star in the fourth episode of Dior's "Secret Garden" video series. You know, the one where models are dressed in stunning Dior gowns while running around the palace of Versailles. Amazing.
In addition, RiRi will appear in a print campaign. Both the video and images will be shot by Steven Klein and debut later this Spring.
If that's not epic enough, this also marks the first time a black woman has fronted the French brand. Quite the milestone considering the fashion industry is notorious for its narrow mindedness when it comes to diversity.
The Grammy Award-winning singer is a certified fashion darling. She has already graced a campaign for Balmain and was recently named a creative director at Puma.
In celebration of Rihanna's new high fashion deal we've rounded up a few of her dopest moments wearing Dior. Congrats, Bad Gal!
Back in January, WWD reported that Rihanna was secretly working on a fashion line with French fashion behemoth LVMH, which owns several of the world’s most important fashion brands, like Christian Dior, Louis Vuitton, Celine, Fendi, and Givenchy, plus every kind of liquor you need for a good party (Hennessey, Chandon, and Chandon, to name a few).
Today, LVMH formally announced what will be called Fenty Maison, a brand which is “centered on Rihanna, developed by her, and takes shape with her vision in terms of ready-to-wear, shoes and accessories, including commerciality and communication of the brand,” according to a press release.
In the press release, Rihanna said, “Designing a line like this with LVMH is an incredibly special moment for us. [LVMH CEO Bernard] 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.” It will show its first collection in a matter of weeks, with some outlets reporting that it will debut on May 22.
