Rihanna has no shortage of collaborations in the works right now; There’s one with Manolo Blahnik, she’s the creative director of Fenty Puma, and she’s busy brand ambassador-ing for Dior. Fans of Riri may have noticed that she’s been wearing various iterations of some reflective Dior glasses in her last few Instagram snaps and WWD has now confirmed that the shades are in fact part of a new collaboration between the fashion house and singer. Titled simply ‘Rihanna,’ the collection will reportedly launch in June and is said to consist of six styles inspired by Geordi La Forge’s visor in Star Trek.
“When I got to Dior and saw all the materials I could play with, it all just came together,” said Riri in a statement to WWD. “The process was pretty seamless. I spent a day at Dior with their eyewear design team. I started by looking through all the archives to see what they’ve done in the past, then got acquainted with all the new materials. I literally sat there and drew and drew until I was happy with the design, and the team illustrated it for me right then and there. We picked materials and colors that same day, and after that it was a matter of weeks before I saw the first prototype.”
No other Dior ambassador has ever been granted the opportunity to design a collection in collaboration with its team, so the news marks a first in the house’s 70-year history.
