“Horror Show”: Rihanna’s River Island London Fashion Week Debut Flops


Though she may have just been crowned ‘the new Princess Diana’ by Camille Paglia, Rihanna‘s London Fashion Week debut of her collection for River Island unfortunately hasn’t faired so well. Described as everything from “ghastly” to “porny,” the reviews, by and large, have been scathing. The closest she got to a ‘positive’ review?

“It wasn’t Rihanna Plane levels of bad, but it wasn’t great…” - Pedestrian TV

OUCH.

So what’s all the haterade about? Well, have a look and judge for yourself (warning: some NSFW language):

So whattaya think? Is this just a case of ‘haters gonna hate’ or is Rihanna’s collection deserving of being so harshly panned?

      Or like early 80s Madonna meets… 90s ‘Sex’ book Madonna?

    Considering the abundance of nipples on display, I find the VPLs particularly hilarious.

    This looks like someone made a “collection” of crap they found at Ragstock.

    This looks like something I’d expect to see at the local design school fashion show by a sophomore who is so wrapped up in CONCEPT OF MY HIGH ART IDEAS YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND that they forget to design clothes.
