【A THREAD】
【A THREAD】
In this thread we'll talk about Rihanna's impact on the fashion industry as well as her little play time with it (her risqué fashion).
Rihanna was awarded as the CFDA's Fashion Icon in 2014. She received the award in this controversial see-thru dress filled with 230,000 swarovski crystals (including her cute little durag) custom made by Adam Selman and styled by Mel Ottenberg.

Rihanna started her journey in experimenting with fashion earlier in her career. She grew up in an island without this kind of access in fashion. And now that she has all the access, she never stopped on showing up in style. From streetstyle-red carpets & even personal events.
Rihanna gives her own fair share of influence in fashion and beauty through her career (she still DOES). Whether starting trends on outfits, make up looks, hairstyles and even tattoos.

Now let's dive into some of her works in the industry. From collaborations with smaller brands to the biggest names in fashion, and to establishing 3 empires all at once.
