As if Bajan pop star Rihanna didn’t have enough stuff on her resume (including actress as she debuts in upcoming action film “Battleship”) , she is now adding television producer!!! Rihanna recently signed a deal to executive produce a reality show featuring undiscovered, up and coming designers competing to create costumes and outfits for musicians and other celebrities. Sort of a British Project Runway but the runway models are celebrities! Go Riri!
The show will culminate with the ultimate challenge of designing an outfit for the fashion forward icon herself, Rihanna!! Rihanna will sport the outfit for her Wireless performance in Hyde Park in July 2012. This will be great exposure for an aspiring fashion designer!
In a statement to Sky Living, Rihanna said” “I’ve always had a great love of fashion. It’s a constant source of inspiration in my life, and is a big reason why I’ve grown into the person and artist I am today. I have been very fortunate to work with some truly amazing designers and stylists throughout my career, and they have been instrumental in making sure my creative vision reaches the stage. I am excited to follow the journey of our aspiring contestants and see how their individuality influences their efforts during the course of the show.
British popstar Nicola Roberts will host the show and Rihanna will appear in a few episodes. Not sure if the show will be aired in the United States but I will keep you up-to-date.
