“I grew up on a really small Island, and I didn’t have a lot of
access to fashion, but as far as I could remember, fashion has
always been my defence mechanism. Even as a child I remember
thinking, she can beat me, but she cannot beat my outfit.” -
Rihanna, accepting the CFDA Fashion Icon of the Year Award in 2014.
From the author of the runaway bestseller Harry Styles and the
Clothes He Wears comes a new, fresh look at style icon Rihanna.
Rihanna has learnt how to define her own terms whatever she does
– whether in the worlds of fashion, music, beauty, philanthropy,
business, or activism, she is both muse and creative, a
collaborator and pioneer. To date she has 135 million Instagram
followers and counting. In 2022 at the age of 34, largely because
of her Fenty Beauty empire, she became Forbes’ youngest self-made
billionaire. But it is her personal wardrobe and the way she wears
it that embodies Rihanna’s charisma, integrity, and humour most:
everything she does reflects what she wears herself. She is a
risk-taker, but as she said on the red-carpet in 2014 “you will
never be stylish if you don’t take risks.” The gamble has paid
off. Rihanna’s mix-and-match method of wearing high fashion and
streetwear, young designers and vintage, hip-hop classics, and
avant-garde custom-made pieces, has meant that she has equal
footing in both the music and fashion industries. Chairman and CEO
of the LVMH group, Sidney Toledano says she is: “a style icon for
today's generation”. The breadth of Rihanna’s fashion knowledge
and style is astounding. In Rihanna and the Clothes She Wears,
Terry Newman steps into the world of this fashion icon by examining
her style. From couture catwalks to her own empire Fenty, political
statements to high street casual, this chic book fizzles with facts
about Rihanna’s styling choices, presenting the star’s most
revered looks. With quotes from key designers, this is the perfect
gift for any fan.
