It’s a given that attaching a brand’s name to Rihanna is bound to create waves. One of Rihanna’s most successful partnerships has been her collaboration with Puma. With a line that sold out in hours, Puma saw a 40 percent increase in US sales of it’s women sneakers last year, numbers that have been largely attributed to the powerhouse. River Island, Stance and most recently Manolo Blahnik are just a few other brands that can say they’ve benefitted from partnering with Rih.
Rihanna broke barriers in 2015 when she became the first ever Black woman spokesperson for Dior. However, she wasn’t new to being the face of a major fashion brand. Just one year before she inspired Olivier Rousteing of Balmain’s Spring/Summer colelction. Talk about being a muse!
