When we heard that Rihanna would be showing her River Island collection during London Fashion Week last month, we were impressed. The Brit fashion capital has become a place where we look forward to catching some of the most innovative looks of the season. We thought: OK, Rihanna, bring it.
But then the show debuted and our positivity began to wane. As the reviews rolled in, we started to realize that this wasn't the fashion world triumph that was anticipated. "Rihanna’s collection for River Island as brought forth in London tonight was a horror show," wrote The Daily Beast.
"It wasn't Rihanna Plane levels of bad, but it wasn't great," wrote Pedestrian TV.
Here's a few reasons we think it didn't go so well:
- RiRi was an hour late for her nine-minute fashion show. We know timeliness isn't de rigueur during fashion week, but making attendees wait a whole hour? Even we can't pretend to check emails on our iPhones for that long.
So there you have it. It wasn't the most seamless transition into the fashion world (get it?), and we have a feeling that shoppers won't be very forgiving either.
The question is: What did you think of Rihanna's debut collection for River Island? Take a look at some photos below and sound off in the comments!
