Rihanna Unveils Second Capsule Collection for Armani
Sketches have been released of the "Birthday Cake" singer's second collaboration with the Armani fashion house, with items being released under both the Armani Jeans and Emporio Armani labels.
- (1888PressRelease) May 16, 2012 - The twenty-four year old megastar has designed a collection mirroring the broad range of her own wardrobe, including flowing shirts and shorts, skinny jeans, brown heel shoes and versatile accessories.
The particular highlights however were a sketch of a distressed denim boiler suit - complete with accompanying dangle charm, a leather biker jacket, and a series of large hand bags bearing the collection's unique emblem: the iconic Armani Eagle set behind a stylised 'R' in homage to the star's name.
A release date for the range has still to be determined, but as with her last collection, underwear will also feature, designed with stretch cotton. Along with a more modest tank and shorts set, the star's familiar bold style will be represented with sparkling push-up bras.
Rihanna has recently made it clear that she would like to design her own personal line, building upon her work with Armani. 'I'm really pursuing a fashion line of my own. I want to design,' she said.
'This is also a road that I want to earn. So I'm working with designers. Designers that I respect and companies that I respect. I want people to really trust me before I say "Buy it because it's mine."'
The singer is due to star in a new fashion reality show in the UK later this year, offering her further insight into the process behind design. Presented by fellow fashionista and music star Nicola Roberts, the show is due to air later in the summer.
A selection of Emporio Armani jewellery is currently stocked at The Jewel Hut. A brand famed for its sharp and sleek sensibility, Emporio Armani offers high end fashion with a modern appeal. See the range at http://www.thejewelhut.co.uk
