presenting her collection to the industry’s finest at London Fashion Week; a feat Rihanna described as “a real privilege” and “a dream come true”. This brings us to today and arguably the most important milestone in the Rihanna for River Island journey so far: the collection release.

for the s n e l e h Behind t er shot v o c n g i a camp “I’VE WANTED TO DESIGN MY OWN FASHION LINE FOR A VERY LONG TIME NOW. IT’S BEEN SOMETHING I’VE THOUGHT ABOUT SINCE I STARTED REALLY LOVING FASHION AND GOT PASSIONATE ABOUT IT… TEAMING UP WITH RIVER ISLAND AND DESIGNING CLOTHES FOR YOUNG, SASSY WOMEN WAS EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED TO DO.” And that’s exactly what Rihanna did.

With the range designed, edited and in production, Rihanna set her sights on art directing her first ad campaign – shot by Mario Sorrenti and featuring top models from around the world – before
