Rihanna's Clothing Line Has Sparked Outrage Because Of A $200 T-Shirt
At this point, it's fair to say that there isn't anything Rihanna can't do. She's one of the biggest selling artists of all time, has a bunch of blockbuster Hollywood movies to her name, and is now, with the successful launch of Fenty Beauty and Savage x Fenty, a fully fledged businesswoman.
Previously, Rihanna has had clothing collaborations with River Island and Puma. However, the release of Fenty marks the launch of an entirely new fashion house. The launch of Fenty makes Rihanna the first ever woman to create an original brand at LVMH, the first woman of colour to lead one there, and also marks the first new fashion house created by LVMH since Christian Lacroix back in 1987.On Wednesday, Rihanna finally debuted the collection in Paris. However, although she's so far received positive praise for it, people were forced to come to her defence over the price range.
One article, in particular, started going viral on Twitter, calling the prices"classist hypocrisy" and claiming that Rihanna's aim of targeting the modern woman was"out of touch with reality".
