Rihanna Gearing Up To Expand Fenty Fashion Empire With LVMH-Backed Brand

It’s well-established that Rihanna‘s love for fashion runs deep and it appears she’s now preparing to tap into her vision and influence by starting her own label. According to WWD, parent company  LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton have been in secret discussions to launch a luxury house under her name. The launch under a Rihanna-directed brand would mark the first time LVMH CEO Bernard Arnault has launched a label since Christian Lacroix (which owns 50 percent of Fenty Beauty) in 1987.

Already, LVMH has begun to assemble a brand with talent pulled from Celine and Louis Vuitton. As for timing, there is speculation the roll out will coincide with the launch of her album in 2019. LVMH began putting together her fashion team about six months ago in Paris, where the project is being overseen by Sidney Toledano, chairman and chief executive officer of LVMH Fashion Group, which oversees labels including Givenchy, Celine, Kenzo and Marc Jacobs.

Rihanna turned heads earlier this week when she was spotted out and about in a pair of Fenty-branded sunglasses. Sources told WWD, Rihanna was testing a prototype.

Given the smashing success of Fenty Beauty, it comes as no surprise LVMH would want to extend her reach to other platforms. In addition to the beauty brand, Rihanna also oversees Fenty X Savage, a lingerie brand that launched in spring 2018. She also had a three-year partnership with Puma that ended in spring 2018 .

In other Rihanna news, she was forced to sue her father, Robert Fenty, to stop him from using her relationship with him to book concerts through his Fenty Entertainment Corp.

Retailer Atmos, owned by Foot Locker will be ceasi Retailer Atmos, owned by Foot Locker will be ceasing operations in North America. The website and retail locations will be shutting down to further focus on Japan in Asia.

In press about the announcement Atmos SVP and GM Patrick Walsh says,"The Atmos brand has a unique and authentic identity, character and spirit. Given the strength of Atmos in Japan and Asia, we are focused on further investing in this market. Though in line with this focus and our plans for simplification, we have made the strategic decision to close our three Atmos stores in North America and our Atmos U.S. website. We are confident that this is the right move for Atmos and will help us continue to work in service of bringing sneaker and street culture to our customers in Asia.”

The Atmos women's store in Philadelphia opened in October 2022!!
Today, Kering announced the appointment of Dublin, Today, Kering announced the appointment of Dublin, Ireland-born designer Sean McGirr as the new creative director of Alexander McQueen after the departure of Sarah Burton.

A graduate of London’s prestigious Central Saint Martins fashion school, he embarked on his career as an assistant at Burberry and Vogue Hommes Japan before becoming part of the creative team at Uniqlo. Prior to his tenure at JW Anderson, McGirr served as the womenswear designer at the renowned Belgian fashion brand, Dries Van Noten.

With the appointment of McGuirr Kering no longer has any woman creative director for its fashion brands. The visual on the slide.

A new #Gucci luggage campaign under Sabato de Sarn A new #Gucci luggage campaign under Sabato de Sarno's creative direction starring Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny, was unveiled this weekend.

To give context to the campaign, a portion of the press release reads,"Shot in an airport, the meeting place where journeys begin, the campaign explores the intimacy of traveling together through the creative lens of Anthony Seklaoui. Stills capture the fleeting spirit of Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny's airport stroll, redefining the Jet Set glamour of the 1990s."

Does this campaign count as a relationship hard launch?

Sarah Burton presented her last collection as Alex Sarah Burton presented her last collection as Alexander McQueen's creative director during Paris Fashion Week this Saturday. Naomi campbell closed the show in a stunning silver dress!

Burton's tenure as creative director for Alexander McQueen has  been remarkable, spanning an impressive 26 years. Her ability to maintain the brand's distinctive blend of beauty and edge is noteworthy.

Burton became creative director in  2010 after the tragic loss of Lee Alexander McQueen. As the only female creative director in Kering's fashion portfolio, her contributions have been significant, and her departure, in our opinion leaves a big gap in a house with a very deep and unique brand dna. 

Any thoughts on who will be the next McQueen creative director?
