Rihanna, who grew up on a small island with limited access to fashion, has always used fashion as her personal power and protection. As she herself said when receiving the CFDA Fashion Icon of the Year Award in 2014: “I grew up on a really small island, and I didn't have a lot of access to fashion, but fashion has always been my defense mechanism.

As she said on the red carpet in 2014: “You will never be stylish if you don't take risks.” Her bold style choices have earned her a prominent place in both the fashion and music worlds. Sidney Toledano, Chairman and CEO of the LVMH Group, therefore calls her: “A fashion icon for today's generation.”

In “Rihanna, And the Clothes She Wears”, Terry Newman delves into the world of this fashion icon. The book offers an overview of Rihanna’s style, from haute couture to her own Fenty empire, from political statements to casual fashion. It is filled with facts about her fashion choices and showcases the star's most acclaimed looks, with quotes from important designers. This book is the perfect gift for any Rihanna fan.

Terry Newman has over 20 years of experience in the fashion industry as an editor at i-D, Attitude, and Self Service, and as a contributing writer for newspapers such as The Guardian, The Independent, The Times, and The Sunday Times.
