In 2016, the debut FENTY x PUMA collection was launched. The array of athletic leisure-type clothing debuted at New York Fashion Week of that year, with a live-streamed fashion show. The sneakers, t-shirts, and hoodies were also available for consumers in-store.
Throughout the partnership, the global performer worked with PUMA to establish her own aesthetic, mixing trends and classic designs for standout pieces. One of the namesake items, the FENTY X PUMA Creeper was awarded ‘Shoe Of The Year’ by Footwear News in 2016.
In 2018, the deal ended as Rihanna went on to reach billionaire status with her own brands Fenty Beauty, Fenty Skin, the FENTY fashion house, and Savage X Fenty.
Between motherhood and her multiple businesses and brand deals, 2023 is shaping up to be a busy year for the singer. The news comes after Rihanna officially re-entered the music world as the headlining act during Super Bowl LVII, where she announced she is currently pregnant with her second child.
Still, during an interview with Vogue, Bad Gal Riri promises “it’d be ridiculous if it’s not this year,” when asked about a new album.
