It\u2019s finally here!<\/p>\n

After much talk, Rihanna\u2019s collection for River Island launched yesterday.\u00a0 Although it received rather rocky reviews at London\u2019s recent fashion week, fans didn\u2019t seem to mind.\u00a0 They lined up and sold\u00a0London and NYC flagship stores\u00a0practically out.<\/p>\n

\"Island_LM<\/a>If I had to describe the line, I would say it\u2019s has a 90s appeal.\u00a0 Think Aaliyah who had that tomboy\/ sexy swag – halter tops, low slung jeans, sheath dresses with Timbalands or high-top sneakers.\u00a0 The line is basic.\u00a0 There are no unique designs or fits, but it has one thing many fabulously designed lines don\u2019t have \u2013 Rihanna.<\/p>\n

This girl can make a potato sack look good.\u00a0 And what really is going to push this line is that she actually wears her own clothes.\u00a0 (What a genius concept. Wonder why more celebs don’t support what they put their names on?\u00a0For the sake of staying on task,\u00a0I won’t even go there.)\u00a0<\/p>\n

She has admittedly designed clothes for her own interest.\u00a0 Critics cautioned that an artist designing a line for themselves could be the kiss of death \u2013 especially since it lacks cohesion.\u00a0 But I predict this will be a huge plus.<\/p>\n

Most people are visual, and seeing a plain plaid\u00a0shirt or haltertop carefully styled on a rock star is smart business.<\/p>\n
