“When I was in school, it was always my dream to be able to dress up in whatever I wanted. But in Barbados, it was mandatory to wear a school uniform, so I had so much fun this season creating these ‘Back to School’ inspired looks, and I’m honored to present the collection in such a majestic national monument,” she said in an online release.
The fashion industry traditionally showcases new collections during fashion weeks around the world in spring and fall, with clothes available the following season. Rihanna’s Spring Summer 2017 Fenty collection for Puma was shown at Paris Fashion Week in September 2016, and goes on sale online today.
It features sneakers with satin bows, a lace up heel and a zipped sneaker boot, designs which aim to “merge sport silhouettes with the romance and grandeur of 18th century France,” according to the Puma website.
