As for the Fenty line itself, Rihanna went with a more chic and modernized look for the first launch, allowing the line to be characterized as hyper-feminine. Known for possessing a tomboy chic street style, Rihanna plays with blurring the lines between feminine and masculine fashion by taking traditional menswear elements and add feminine touches. Structured blazers and dresses featured curving lines and detailing to accentuate the notion of the modern woman which was Rihanna’s proposed intention with the brand overall. The pastels of the collection further add to its feminine nature and also make it perfect for summer.
