Rihanna’s final River Island collection unveiled

Rihanna’s final River Island collection unveiled

After numerous seasons of collaborating with the high-street fashion company, Rihanna says farewell to River Island.

Available to pre-order now and ready to be dispatched on 7th November, Rihanna’s A/W 2013 collection is a funky mix of 90s shapes, black essentials and high-shine metallic party pieces.

From the outset, Rihanna and River Island have been the perfect duo in regards to the world of high-street fashion. Rihanna appeals to River Island’ target audience and together they have continually made a hugely successful fashion line that has caught the attention of everybody, including model Cara Delevingne and pop star Rita Ora. Now as Rihanna unleashes her last dose of fashion, it is fair to say the Barbadian singer is going out in style and with one hell of a bang.

Just in time for Christmas, Rihanna has most certainly kept the party season in mind when designing her latest compilation. There are a number of shimmering, glam pieces including metallic dresses, crop tops and bodycon with her trademark black heeled sandals and tuxedo style jacket dresses available to make your own.

Although there is a great deal of tight fitting pieces and opulent glitz, Rihanna has also paid close attention to the chilly months that are sure to lay ahead for us Brits with casual statements and a great deal of tartan. Parka jackets, fur hats, turtle necks and a tartan mac are all stand-out, but comfortable and easy to wear articles that will keep us cosy and warm as we near the colder months.

Rihanna’s collection is most certainly that; it embodies the two sides we see to the star: laid-back, urban cool in the form of slim jeans, tartan turtle necks and bomber jackets and the red-hot sex appeal represented through metallic minis, sheer bralets and stilettos.
