Over the years, Rihanna has been firmly in the frontline of news coverage as a fashion icon, a position that was stamped and verified when she won the CFDA ‘Fashion Icon’ award in 2014.
The release of Fenty, her luxury fashion brand, in 2017 cemented her footprint in the fashion world. And it has evolved with the times, keeping up with the power of the youth to fight for change in the age of #blacklivesmatter and calls for global environmental change, spearheaded by 17-year old Greta Thunberg in 2019. Fenty’s latest summer release seeks to celebrate different facets of youth.
