First Fenty Beauty, and now Rihanna has announced that she has united with LVMH – the French multinational luxury goods conglomerate – to launch her own fashion label. Here’s what we know so far.
Two years after launching Fenty Beauty, Rihanna is following up with Fenty Fashion
Barbados-born singer Rihanna launched Fenty Beauty in 2017, and it has quickly become one of our favourite beauty brands with a clear cult following based on merit, not just name. Gaining such a following, it would only natural that the 31-year-old would expand her empire.
And after teasing Fenty Skin earlier this year, the Diamonds hitmaker has announced that she is launching her own fashion label. On the news, Rihanna said: “Designing a line like this with LVMH is an incredibly special moment for us. Mr Arnault 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.”
While Bernard Arnault, Chairman and CEO of LVMH, added: “Everybody knows Rihanna as a wonderful singer, but through our partnership at Fenty Beauty, I discovered a true entrepreneur, a real CEO and a terrific leader. She naturally finds her full place within LVMH. To support Rihanna to start up the Fenty Maison, we have built a talented and multicultural team supported by the Group resources. I am proud that LVMH is leading this venture and wish it will be a great success.” Leading up to the launch, here’s everything we know so far.
