Rihanna will launch her first fashion collection later this month.
After a successful collaboration with Puma, along with the launch of her Fenty Beauty and lingerie range, the pop star is hoping to tap into the luxury clothing market.
The Talk That Talk singer has announced that she has been working on her own high-fashion Fenty line.
Rihanna has collaborated with LVMH (Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton) to create the collection, which is set to go live at the end of the month.
“Designing a line like this with LVMH is an incredibly special moment for us. ”

The new collection will mark an historic milestone in the luxury group’s history as Rihanna will become the first woman of colour to lead a house under the LVMH brand, and the first woman to create an original brand for the group.
In the newly released statement, the singer revealed she “couldn’t imagine a better partner both creatively and business-wise.”
She said: “Designing a line like this with LVMH is an incredibly special moment for us.
“[Bernard Arnault, LVMH CEO] 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.”
Fenty, named after the star’s full name Robyn Rihanna Fenty, will specialise in clothing, shoes, and accessories.
It will join the likes of Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, and Givenchy who are already part of the LVMH group.
And while she has concentrated her efforts on the expansion of her Fenty brand, the musician is in the process of wrapping up her ninth studio album.
Rihanna has worked with producer The Dream on her latest release, and he revealed earlier this year the record is “super close” to being finished.
