Rihanna to Design

Sep 25, 2008 @ 3:01pm

rihanna designs.jpgWe know we usually do an eye roll when singing and dancing celebrities announce they'll be applying their talents to fashion design, but today, not as much.

Rihanna's revealed that she'll soon be designing a line of her own, though she gave no further details than that.

The thing is, we think she can actually pull it off. We've been fans of Rihanna's style for quite some time now. Ever since she started showing up at events in young British labels, we've been watching to see what she'll wear next. Not even the Spring '08 Balenciaga sandals she recently rewore - gasp! - could deter our admiration. In fact, it might have only made us love her more - we have to give credit to any celebrity brave enough to wear such a seasonal item after the fact, just like normal people.

So given that she knows her fashion abc's, we're expecting some great stuff - can't you totally picture some daring, colorful dresses with a few tough leather pieces thrown into the mix?

Well everything she wears is down to her stylist. Though I'm sure she has a slightly more wider knowledge and is not the same island girl she once was. There may be cute pieces though I'm not sure what her style is as she isn't consistent and is just styled. & before someone steps up and bashes her, if you were given the opportunity and in her shoes you would NOT turn it down.

I LOVE how you tagged this post Heidi Montag, even though you don't actually mention her in the posting. Brilliant!

I totally agree with Guest @ 3:08. I think Rihanna is super cute and always stylish,sometimes its a bit much and she trys alittle too hard but she is able to pull off alot of looks and shows how versatile her style is!IMO

I've always admired Rihanna, and I look forward to seeing what she comes up with. I read an interview once in which Rihanna said that in ten years she hoped to find herself as an entrepreneur and a mother. I really think this girl has a good head on her shoulders, especially when compared to certain other pop princesses who have tried to leave their niche.

Knowing about fashion does not mean you'll necessarily be a good designer.

I don't think anyone disputes that no. 5 but the fact is you cannot knock her if an opportunity strikes, she doesn't have a longevity factor and deserves every right to enjoy and explore her time while it lasts. Like it was said before if we were in her shoes we would not turn it down, no one is forced to buy or look at her line yet people I'm sure are bash their keyboards in disgust like she hasn't sent them their pay check.

it'd be interesting to see not buy. i forsee poorly made clothing. but i hope her stylist will be able to take on this extra duty of consulting since she clearly created this girl. not a visionary, not excited

Heaven forbid someone re-wears a pair of shoes they spend thousands of dollars on.

I agree with guest @ 3:08PM- thats exactly what i was saying aloud when i read this! she's STYLED! down to her nail polish colour...i think she looks great! but i honestly give the props to her team

and fay said it well...just b/c you know about fashion doesn't mean your a designer...

I agree with guest at 3:08 Rihanna has a great stylist, which is what I immediately thought when I read this. Like most celeb designers I'm sure she won't be actually designing anything, she'll probably just approve looks with her fab style team.

Agreed with pretty much all of the comments...
Now, are there any new, up and coming designers(who aren't in music) we should know about?!

I hope it's designed by Rihanna's stylist! That said I really love her look.
